@lordbrain8867 the policy in Russia under the last Tsar had certain aspects, mainly the stupidity of the Tsar. Even in Germany and Habsburg the nobles were degenerated. Drach's japanese strategy of Kentai Kessen was simply wrong. To enforce major battles at sea, you have to enforce the melee at your own conditions. In the conflict against Russia, it was no problem for the IJN, because Russia wanted to expand it's strategic position from Vladivostok to the south (Port Arthur). In the conflict against the US, this was not the case. The US and Britain enforced the war by an oil embargo, which would had brought the Empire of Japan on it's knees. So, to enforce a major battle at sea, the Japanese had to attack the US mainland. At this time the US west coast was difficult to defend and easy to attack, only a few strongholds. The strength of the US and Britain were the economic ressources, not the education of the soldiers and seamen. The political mistakes of the Axxis-powers were that they never intended the total annihilation of the enemy's forces. The Allies intended this target.
