What was the real factor of battle of midway?

They say that "...there are no atheists in foxholes...", and any combat veteran that denies that, (with some very rare exceptions) stands a fairly decent chance of never having been in a REAL war. And again, as any "real" combat veteran might state, "there's abit of luck (also termed FATE or DESTINY or ACT OF GOD or "YOUR NUMBER (was called or was up)") involved with war." "...What was the real factor of the battle of midway?" Author Gordon Prange didn't title his book, "Miracle at Midway" for nothing! Midway truly was a miracle.


In ww1 why did Britain launch the dreadnought?

Dreadnaught was the name of a British battleship launched in 1906; HMS Dreadnaught. The revolutionary all big gunned (12" caliber) warship was planned prior to 1905, but was not approved for construction, pending the results of the Battle of Tsushima, between the Russian & Japanese pre-dreadnaughts in May 1905 (British naval officers were aboard Japanese battleships during the battle). After the successful conclusion of the battle on 27 May 1905, the all big gun battleship was validated, and Dreadnaught was approved by Whitehall, and her keel was laid in October of 1905. After HMS Dreadnaught was launched in 1906, all battleships existing prior to 1906 were termed "Pre-Dreadnaughts." WWI was fought by battlecruisers and dreadnaughts (having been built from 1906 onward).


What was the general type of battle tactics employed by General US Grant in Virginia in 1864 during The US Civil War?

US General in Chief US Grant's tactics in Virginia have often been termed tactics of annihilation in 1864, however that is not correct. The misuse of Grant's unsuccessful frontal assaults yielded, for the most part, only massive Union casualties. For example in the Battle of Cold Harbor, Grant lost 7,000 men, killed or wounded in frontal attacks against General Lee's solid fortifications. Grant was successful when he abandoned his attempt of annihilating the Army of Northern Virginia and reverted to one of "exhaustion". Briefly described, this amounted to a tactic, used in Napoleonic Era battles whereby, the enemy army was beaten through exhausting their lines of supply. It should not be confused with tactics of attrition, which is another form of annihilation.
