The Japanese could never have defeated the United States and its immense industrial and military capacity. The Battle of Midway, forever changed the fortune of war in the Pacific. Japan lost 4 large aircraft carrier and all their best pilots-which would be hard to be replaced. Admiral Yamamoto, the Supreme Naval Commander and a realist, knew the war was over and that after Pearl Harbor, said that Japan had "awaken a sleeping giant,". The fact that the Japanese didn't find the 2 American aircraft carriers at Pearl Harbor, would cost the Japanese dearly at the Battle of Midway, the following year in 1942. The Japanese, unlike the Allies and Germans, were never serious in developing an atomic bomb.
