But afterward when the 2nd Pacific Squadron was also wiped out, that did the trick. The Japanese won. Now admittedly even if the Japanese had won at Midway, the Americans would have just built a third and bigger fleet and won with that, but based on Japan's experience to that point, such a war was winnable and if lost, they'd be able to offer up some concessions in return for a negotiated peace. The American reaction to being attacked was actually pretty atypical. Yamamoto > knew what was going to happen, he told them, they ignored him. > > > >
