Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Terminus Today's thought (just to get it out of the way): Japan spent the years prior to the war preparing for the Decisive Battle, in which the US fleet would advance across the Pacific to the Philippines, into a battlespace the IJN could control, to be whittled down and destroyed. By attacking Pearl Harbor and eliminating the USN battleline, the IJN robbed themselves of the possibility of the Decisive Battle for several years, thus killing off their own pre-war doctrine. Yep... and they simply didn't know what to do next... the Midway operation was result of that... Leo "Apollo11"
