It is possible to lose a battle and win a war. A battle is a single conflict between opposing forces, be it land, sea, or air. A perfect example of this is Pearl Harbor. The Japanese leader Admiral Yamamoto planned and staged an all-out first offense on America by attacking the U.S. at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii. Their main target was Battleship Row, where multiple U.S. battleships were anchored. After an intense bombing and airfight, the U.S. fended off the Japanese but lost many sailors and multiple important battleships, including the U.S.S. Arizona. It was considered a national tragedy, the 9/11 of WWII.
