How do you think the war might have Been different if the the allies had lost at midway?

Answer 1

It would have sparked a major tragedy within several people due to locations and it just have been very different then it turned out to be..... Thanks :@)

Answer 2

The Japanese would not have been able to hold Midway for long, as it was too far for resupply once the US Pacific Fleet was active again. Given it's proximity to Hawaii, it would have been reoccupied within 1942, instead of Guadalcanal. However, the loss of the two remaining carriers would have slowed down the war effort, as the Solomon campaign would not have started for at least 6 more months. This would have slowed the war of attrition that doomed Japan, but the end would have been about the same time. In the end, the US had such a massive material advantage, the loss of 2 carriers would have been insignificant. The Northern Marianas would have fallen about the same time and the US bombing raids on Japan would have followed the same path. The US submarine effort would have been largely unaffected, so the slow strangling of Japan would have proceeded on the same schedule. And, in the end, the Atomic bombs that ended the war would have been developed at the same pace and dropped at about the same time. Of course, the only real possible change due to timing would have been a Soviet invasion of Hokkaido prior to the A-bomb which might have dramatically altered the post-war landscape.

Answer 3

The Soviets (Russians) may have owned Europe. The Russians (Soviets) were rolling non-stop into Germany.
