Question

What mistakes, errors, or miscalculations lead to japans defeat at midway

Answer 1

Answer:

The Japanese had a rather arrogant opinion that their codes were unbreakable. Most military leaders, if they planned an attack at Port Moresby and were met by their opponents with the most carriers they could have on hand - would wonder if their opponents had prior information to their intent. (It could have been much worse for the Japanese at Coral Sea if it occurred a little later for the two American carriers used in the Doolittle Raid could have arrived in time and would have doubled the airpower of the American fleet.)
