I would say the main reasons America beated japan in WW2 was a couple mistakes japan made early in the war.

1. If japans third wave in pearl harbor was launched all the oil and ship repair dock would be destroyed, if so America would have a huge time recovering and the U.S. navy would recover months later. And with those months japan could invade midway, Hawaii etc.

2. If the U.S. aircraft carriers were at pearl harbor during the attack there (which they were suppose to be) the U.S. navy would have been wiped out because after pear harbor the only threats the Japanese navy hade was those carriers. If those where destroyed in Pear harbor the U.S. navy would have been destroyed.

3. In the battle of midway, Japanese planes on the aircraft carriers were preparing for a strike to the U.S. carrier but haven't found them. They were then fitted weapons to attack midway island but half way into it they found the U.S. carriers. Then when they found the U.S. carriers then they started unloading the airplanes and fitting them weapons to attack the U.S. carriers. Just then is when the U.S. bombers came and destroyed the Japanese carriers. If the carrier crew haven't wasted so much time refitted the planes with different weapons over and over and just lunched the strick against the U.S. carriers they U.S. fleet would be wiped out and Japan would easily win the war.

Japan would have won WW2 if she attacked Russia when Germany did instead of attacking the U.S.. The US would have been kept out of the war, Russia could not have won a two front war, and Germany and Japan would have a true alliance being able to trade, for example, German military technology for Asian minerals and rubber. They both would have shared Russia's resources.

How did money play a part in the british defeat at the end of the war?

What war? At the end of the second World War, though Britain and her allies eventually won the war against Germany and Japan, Britain was almost bankrupt. When Britain was hanging on by her finger tips, America (mainly due Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour) came to our rescue. America's might, prosperity and productively proved vital . Neither Germany nor Japan could compete, and so the inevitable outcome was the defeat of Germany and Japan by the Britain, America, and our allies..
