Jap's mistake not to bomb oil field and submarine bay on Dec 7th, 1941. That's my opition. Pearl Harbor had submarines and Oil field but Japs must be missed them. But if the Yamotomo did send the 3rd waves to bomb more. Then US are in doomed.

1. Inability to coordinate their efforts with Germany. They were fighting separate wars
2.Inability to attract the conquered Asian nations to their cause
3. The Pacific War was a war of misunderstandings. The Americans didn't understand the Japanese and vise versa. The assumptions on both sides were completely wrong. However, the Americans were able to adjust much faster. The Japanese couldn't make the same adjustments until after the war

Japs's tanks are sucks that I've ever seen before. Sherman and 2.31 inches barzooka blew them easily.

LET ME POSE A QUESTION, THE ANSWER IS WHAT I BELIEVE WAS JAPANS BIGGEST MISTAKE (Aside from pearl harbor)


The US Military had a major weakness during the Pacific War, What was it?

Like Germany, Japan had built up their forces for years for a war and then thought they were unstoppable, which they were at first, until the Allies got organised. Also like Germany they honestly thought they could beat world. Now if they had stuck to China instead taking on every one else they might just have got away with it.
