Midway : Why did the Japanese Lose?

</p> <h2>Why did the Japanese Lose?</h2> <p> The Battle of Midway (1942) has been by some described as a turning point in the Pacific War. The question is: Why did the Japanese Lose? Or maybe: Why did the Americans win? During my research I came across several different perspectives namely those of Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully and those of James Levy.<br />  <br /> All of them make good points. Yet, what were the key elements? US Intelligence? Japanese Oversights? Victory Disease? A flawed plan? Limited Preparation? The Odds? Failed Recon? After all Operation MI was a complicated plan, but the Japanese clearly had the initiative as well.<br />  <br /> Credit to : Military History Visualized</p> <p>
