What would have happened if our carriers were in Pearl Harbor?
What do you think would have happened to the Pacific theatre war in WW2 if we had most of our carriers in Pearl Harbor and Japanese sank them along with the other ships?
Would we have had enough time to re-build our fleet before the Japanese invaded Hawaii and Midway island?
Also would that have had any influence on the European front?
The Pacific would have been a Japanese lake. But I very much doubt they could have invaded our main land. They did not have the manpower. They would probably have taken Australia though and New Zealand. Most their troops were in the Mideast fighting the Germans. We would either have negotiated peace or the Pacific war would have lasted into the 1950’s. However if we fought, the outcome would have been much the same. Japan was to small and too poor in resources to hold what it would have taken. We would have had to focus even more on Europe and probably had air raids on the West coast from carriers. But once Hitler was beaten Japan would have been easy to crush. If we developed the Atom bomb on schedule probably both the Germans and Japanese would have had it used on them. You also forget something else. Submarines. Our fleet boats were much superior to Japanese. It would have taken a couple years but they were built on the East coast and could even have been built on the Great Lakes if needed. Gone to sea via the St. Lawrence seaway. A concentrated submarine war on tankers would have fuel starved the Japanese. And if we systematically then attacked their fleet we could have done great damage. The truth is our submarines did almost as much damage to the Japanese as our carrier’s. It was undoubtly better for us it did not happen, but the Japanese as well the greater their conquests the more people to keep subdued and the longer a permitier to supply and hold. probably more than two atom bombs would have been used on their cities. They would still have been crushed and possibly with a lot less mercy.
