Estonian Soldier reacts to the Battle of Midway – Japanese perspective
Video Summary
The Battle of Midway, fought in 1942, was a pivotal moment in World War II. From the Japanese perspective, the battle was a desperate attempt to capture the American base of Midway Island and destroy the American Pacific Fleet. The Japanese had achieved a string of victories across the Pacific, but their biggest opponent, the United States, had yet to surrender. Japan needed to end the war quickly before the US could ultimately defeat them with its industrial might. The Japanese planned a surprise attack on Midway, hoping to catch the US fleet by surprise and demoralize them. However, the US had intelligence on the Japanese plans, and the Americans were ready. The battle would be a test of strategy, technology, and tenacity.
