You mention this, when we also had luck on our side and were a mere minutes from a totally different outcome.

Read into exactly what happened at the battle of Midway. The Japanese Admiral misjudged what armament he should have loaded the planes with. Had the crew switch over the weapons, and had only like 3 planes with anti ship bombs. The Japanese admiral opted to not launch those three planes against our warships because in their doctrine, you never sortie less than a full squadron. This grave mistake allowed us to get the upper hand at Midway which helped us significantly through the Pacific campaign.

Also look into when the U.S. dropped dolls inland on mainland Europe causing the Nazis to divert some forces from the beaches and allowed us to actually get a foothold on mainland Europe.

There are so many unlikely things that went right for the U.S. in WW2. Sometimes i truly believe God is on our side.
