What cause the battle at midway?
IJN Admiral Yamamoto had been a young Lieutenant during the decisive battleship fleet action at Tsushima against the Russians in 1905. Yamamoto's commander during that battle was Japan's greatest naval hero, Admiral Togo. The Battle of Tsushima (also known as the Battle of the Japan Sea) was the only decisive steel battleship fleet engagement ever fought (the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, was fought by wooden ships). Based upon Yamamoto's experience, he intended to repeat Admiral Togo's victory at Tsushima in 1905. Only this time it would be fought between Aircraft Carrier Fleets instead of battleships. Togo had brought the Russians to decisive battle. Yamamoto intended to bring the Americans to decisive battle...which he did by the way; only the results were different than he expected.
