Is it possible to lose a battle and win a war?

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.


How Pearl Harbor's events impacted?

the bombing of pearl harbor put us in ww2 because the Americans knew that California could be the so called next target by the Japanese. after the bombing of pearl harbor the battle towards japan began. soon the bombing of Hiroshima would make japan give up. America would win the war as the allied powers took over Germany we beat japan in the western front.


Why Japan think they could defeat the US at Pearl Harbor?

Pearl Harbor was only one battle; not the war. Wars are mostly a series of battles. A nation can WIN every battle and still lose a war. Or, a nation can LOSE every battle and still win a war. One of the elements of the "Art of War" is "surprise." Japan planned on delivering a "surprise knock-out punch" to the US Navy. It was successful in carrying out that mission. Had they not been successful; the battles of the Java Sea, Savo Island, Guadalcanal, etc. would have been BATTLESHIP ENGAGEMENTS instead of CRUISER sea battles. Those cruiser sea fights were fought without battleships, because the US Battleships were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
