why did the japanese loss from battle to battle after midway?

Answer 1

They lose the battle to battle after Midway cuz :
1. They lose almost 25% of their naval combat capability in Midway

2. They lose 4 aircraft carrier ship that the Japs never be able to recover from it loss while USA can recovery so fast.

3. By losing the important aircraft carrier, a lot of Japs naval lack of air defense against any Allied air raid that cost them their most powerfull ship AKA Yamato & Musashi, not to say about other Japs ships too

4. Apparently the Japs had a Victory disease that make them more loosely & more prone to blunder plus more arrogant & underestimated the Allied power despite the Japs had been beaten severely in Midway

5. Their conservative method & seniority power makes the Japs strategies are too conservative & easily to predict, read, and counter by Allied command

6. The Japs never invented any modern & advanced warfare techs that make them became a loser when the Allied going to war using their latest war machine

7. The Japs infantry strategy & principles that encouraged their attack like Banzai charge, kamikaze, blind obeying command, and conservative methods like only using rifles in close combat makes the Japs lose the ground very fast & easily & these kind of strategy always failed miserable in the hands of Allied guns

8. Japs never had any SMG & any medium or heavy tank that can stand face to face & 1 on 1 with Sherman tank makes Japs land battle became no hope once the Allied land in their territory,
They thought the war will be settled in vast battlefield that can be able to covered by their obsolete & complex rifle too when in the reality, most of battle are waging in close combat due the location that make the enemies is well camouflaged & the close proximity of fire ranges needed to hit accurately
Worse, when the Japs know this, they even encouraged their infantry to wage a close combat war due their ability to hide well despite their weapon are pistol, samurai or rifle that can never stand against to match the SMG Allied had in CQC.

9. Their method using kamikaze its not effective cuz this methods actually cost the human resources so much that Japs actually needs in future battle to defend other areas

10. Allied using asssasination methods to assasinate prominent & top command of Japs army makes Japs surely lose many well & smart general

11. Using commando raid & air plus number superiority forced Japs to lose their ground more rapidly

12. The turn tide of war in Midway is increased the morale of Allied power

13. The Japs has lose their help from German that became so busy defend their territory in Europe make the Japs just a single alone army to face the superiority & more refreshed power of Allied

14. Allied using so much air raid, air bombardment, and commando raid to destroy all of Japs logistic & supply center plus airfield in Japs island make the defense of that island so costly for the Japs to wage another fair war with Allied in another battle

15. By conquering Midway, the Allied now had new place to wage an air raid & air bombardment to any Japs territory with easily & their bomber escort can make the short work of any already scarce Japs aircrafts

Answer 2

The Japanese lost the cream of their skilled pilots at Midway--men who had been in combat in one way of another since the mid 30's fighting Japan's war in China. They lost their four biggest and most advanced aircraft carriers at Midway, and the remaining two large aircraft carriers were being recrewed and repaired after major battle damage suffered at Coral Sea.

Japan started the war with 10 aircraft carriers of all sizes. The US Navy had 6. After the losses in Coral Sea and Midway, the US was to build 24 large and over 80 light and escort carriers. The Japanese built two large carriers during the war (Taiho and Shunano) but the real loss was the loss of Japanese skilled pilots capable of offensive strikes.

The simple answer is that the US Navy built up huge capability while the Japanese struggled to maintain what little strength they had.

Answer 3

Basic answer is that before Midway and following Pearl Harbor the Japanese had the strongest Navy in the Pacific and were able to bring heavy concenrations of air power together. Midway was a daring gamble for the Allies--and the Japanese were caught with their kimono's down--losing three carriers in that action. Japan did not have the vast military industrial complex that the United States did--and the industrial capacity of the United States was never touched by bombings. After Midway it was as Yammamoto had known before Pearl Harbor--he wanted a forced peace with the United States quickly after Pearl Harbor because he knew that Japan could not easily replace captial ships (air craft carriers/battleships etc) while he also knew that when the industrial might of the United States was fully converted to war production--the United States could not only cover her losses but expand her power.

Answer 4

Two factors. One is the loss of experienced Naval aviators. After the Battle of Midway, most of the aviators who carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor were dead. That meant they were not around to train the next generation of aviators.
Second was the Japanese Navy's obsession with the national sport of Japan: Sumo. In Sumo every bout is the "final battle" The oppenents leap from a crouched position in the initial charge (Tachi Ai) and most bouts are over in less than two minutes.
As a result, every one of the battles planned by their Navy was the "Final Battle". With the loss of all of those experienced aviators at Midway, it was easy for American Naval aviators to shoot the Japanese from the skies and attack their fleets because of the massive gathering of Japanese warships. The Battle of the Philippine Sea, for example, is known as the "Marianas Turkey Shoot".

Answer 5

The loss of 4 carriers at Midway meant that there was insufficient Japanese air power (carriers/planes/pilots) to allow them to expand or defend the perimeter of their captured Pacific territories. After Midway the USA still had sufficient carrier air power to cut Japanese supply lines and to support successful attacks on the outer Japanese perimeter bases starting with Guadalcanal and eventually closing in and capturing Okinawa which was within easy bombing range of the Japanese mainland.

Answer 6

The loss of four aircraft carriers at Midway crippled the Japanese fleet, along with the loss of many experienced pilots.

Answer 7

The key to the Japanese loss at the Battle of Midway was not only the loss of 4 of their largest and most important aircraft carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu) but the fact that the expansion of their Pacific empire was brought to a halt as a result. At the beginning of the war the Japanese only had aroud a dozen carriers capable of doing battle; they lost one at the Battle of the Coral Sea and suffered serious damage to two others, so immediately after Midway the were down to 1/4 of their original carrier force. They had gone to war under the assumption that they would achieve carrier superiority quite quickly, with the strike at Pearl Harbor and subsequent battles; their expansion strategy would not work now that they had no more carriers than we did.
At the same time as Midway they had occupied Guadalcanal and Tulagi in the Solomon Island chain, planning to use them as bases to launch air attacks against Australia. With the loss at Midway, however, they were unable to keep the supply lines open to these island bases very easily. The US decided to invade Guadalcanal in order to keep them from using the airfields they were building there for the planned attacks on Australia, and they did it as soon after Midway as possible (August 1942) to take advantage of the inevitable confusion in the Japanese high command as a result of the Midway disaster.
Without carriers the Japanese had to rely on surface ships to defend and supply their troops on Guadalcanal; the US still had the carriers Enterprise, Hornet and Wasp available to protect their invasion force. This would prove the big difference.
The battle for Guadalcanal went on until November of 1942 before it was clear that we would be victorious there (although some fighting continued for a few months after that), and several times we came close to losing. But air superiority was the key factor.
After Guadalcanal the Japanese were on the defensive, since we were able to use Henderson Field on Guadalcanal as an air base to launch attacks on more and more of their island bases; they would never again be on the offensive. That, combined with the increased output of American industry providing more and more warships for the US Navy, and the inability of the Japanese to keep pace with warship production, meant that the outcome of the war was now inevitable.
One of the most important factors in the losses at Midway and Guadalcanal was the loss of so many highly-trained Japanese pilots. The US was the only country in WW2 to rotate their combat pilots out of front-line service in order to not only keep them from developing fatigue, but to bring them back to train more and more replacement pilots using their combat experience as an advantage in that training. The Japanese (and the Germans) kept their combat pilots at the front lines until they either died, were wounded severely enough that they could no longer fly, or (they hoped) the war ended. Thus not only was the fate of most of those pilots sealed, but the training of replacement pilots was much less effective for them because they had no combat-experienced pilots to teach them what they really needed to know about combat. And they were constantly rushed into service with far too little flying time. Lambs to the slaughter.

Answer 8

Because at the Battle of Midway they lost several aircraft carriers, so they couldn't attack and they had a more difficult time defending as well.

Answer 9

They lost, I believe, 3 aircraft carriers at Midway. Consequently they lost a large portion of their air power in the pacific.

Answer 10

There are a lot of factors but refraining from launching their third strike on Hawaii on 7 DEC 41 was probably the main reason. The US Navy had plenty of fuel because they didn't hit the fuel storage.
Bad luck was probably the main reason for the loss tactically.
