  1. 4. Now you're just arguing that if the Japanese weren't militaristic, totalitarians they could have won. You are changing the entire premise of the war.

  2. 1. The US stopped selling American fuel to Japan over the Japanese occupation of French Indochina. 2. Retaliation over what? Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and the Phillipines. That is a war, not mere retalliation. 3. Not by 1941. The US had expanded its army significantly in 1940 and 1941. Japan had a massive army 4. ??? 5. Yeah.

  3.  @JohnSmith-il7jn  Japan had no honour. Their boshido was a 19th century creation and a farce. It was not at all the conduct of Samurai.

  4. Search by new and you will find people still arguing Japan could have won. So much for "obvious".

  12. The US did not try to find and kill him per se. They intercepted a message they decoded mentioning Yamamoto's flight plan. That's when they intercepted him.

  13. Japan did not have the logistical capabilities.

  14.  @MrSamBowers  "I can tell English is not your first language." Woooow. That is very much an ad hominem.

  15. No? Japan couldn't win the attritional war it was in.

  16.  @JohnSmith-il7jn  The Japanese did not believe in battle fatigue or rotations. They did emphasize bayonet charges because "their spirit would triumph".

  17. What exactly destroyed the Japanese's ability to wage war? Destroying their convoys and bombing their industry. An Island without a navy cannot wage war overseas.
