At the start of 1942, Japan was one of the most powerful countries in the world, but after American involvement in the war, and the victory in the battle of Midway, Japan lost Naval Power.

  3. I agree with the point that Japan was one of the most powerful country in the world but it is not really because of the military but instead their willingness to fight and to die for their country, because in the battle of Midway it proved that even though the defeat of Japan in inevitable they still would fight to the last man and evade capture by the Allied forces, and use suicidal tactics like the Kamikaze on the Allied ships and carriers.
