People dont take the time to really read and understand the facts. Yamamoto knew a war with the US was "unwinnable". Not only did he live in the US, he went to Harvard and studies mathematics , he was keenly aware of America's untapped industrial might..." All we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant...and filled him with a terrible resolve"...

He was respected greatly by US leaders. That's why he was whacked. Just business.

Yamamoto didnt like many things Japan at the time had approved. Main thing was Pearl Harbour. He himself knew that they wouldnt win against the US. He also didnt approve of the construction of the Yamato class Battleships. But yeah, he was indeed a great man, he couldnt voice his opinions against the orders as he was merely just a soldier (and it was Imperial Japan lol, Honour comes first was the mindset).

Ask any survivors of Pearl Harbor what they thought of him kid. Never step on the griffin tail, for if you do, be prepared to be STOMP!

Yamamoto stayed at the hotel now known as the Sheraton Commander in Cambridge,Massachusetts when he studied at Harvard.

It is Yamamoto at 9:12 and the balled officer is Osami nagano.

Yes. He knew it would be no chance if the war had not ended in short period

@@osolsl9321 and in the battle of Midway he lost 4 carriers. While the only price is the Yorktown. His at least 1 years fighting back have been shorten.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was not aimed at an aircraft carrier. This is because the simulation (war game) that was done many times in advance had the result of losing in a decisive battle with a battleship. In the Imperial Japanese Navy, battleships were the main force of the fleet, and aircraft carriers were the vanguard to reduce the enemy fleet before decisive battles on battleships. It was from the Battle of Mariana that aircraft carriers became the main force.

@@kamkam_99 I am not sure what this has to do with Yamamoto's reaction to the result of the attack. Your point seems to accord with my memory of my graduate studies, but it has nothing to do with my comment.

@@osolsl9321 For some stupid reason the IJN thought they were fighting Russians. The last time the US agreed to negotiating a peace treaty was when the White House got burned down by the British.

My thoughts exactly. When I read prepare to attack the U.S, England and Holland, I couldn't help but feel Yamamoto's inner cringe. Like, this is such a BAD idea. You would think they would ask the opinion of their top admiral who just happened to actually have BEEN to the country they're planning on declaring war against...

Don't give him too much credit. Minoru Genda did most of the hard work.

Yamamoto was a dinosaur. His battle tactics were overly intricate and prone to defeat because of divided forces. His defenses were biased toward what the IJN was good at rather than what his enemy excelled at, i.e. torpedo bombers instead of dive bombers. And he never grasped how to use *or* defend against submarines.

To be fair any idiot could have seen how the conflict would end. Japan's economy was 10% of the US economy and they had 72 million people vs 132 million in the US. Moreover the US had vast natural resources that were readily accessed by the US economic powerhouse. The US also had an ally in the UK empire that closely coordinated with the US. Many leaders in Japan saw the problem but believed that the US was soft and would seek an immediate peace once their naval fleet was decimated at Pearl just as the Russians had in 1905. They would learn that angry nation of primarily English-German people is not the same as the Russian empire.Their "surprise" attack at Pearl absolutely infuriated the US people and made sure that war wouldn't end until Japan was completely destroyed. The Japanese leaders, a country that had never lost a war, that had never been invaded, could not conceive of an enemy that would not stop until Japan was completely crushed and occupied. Moreover, while Japan had cleverly avoided a war with the Soviet Union, (thus letting their "ally" Germany fight on alone) that peace would only last until Germany was destroyed. With the Germans vanquished the Soviets quickly declared war on Japan and attacked in Manchuria. The Japanese knew all too well the Russians' reputation for raping and pillaging occupied countries. The Japanese had no qualms about committing atrocities on occupied peoples as long as they were doing the raping and killing. Occupation by the US was repugnant to the Japanese but occupation by the Russians was an unthinkable nightmare. Allegedly one of their unspoken terms with the US was that there would be no Russian "zone" of occupation.

Many Japanese were confident that the Japanese military would win if the United States had not resorted to underhanded tactics. And the British and American governments also did not think that they could defeat Japan. This is because Japan had overwhelming military power at the time the war began. In 1935, Japan was the first in the world to organize an aircraft carrier task force, and was able to execute tactics to sink enemy battleships with carrier-based fighter planes and bombers. On December 10, 1941, the Japanese military sank two British warships (Prince of Wales and Repulse) in just two hours in the Battle of the Malay Sea with torpedoes fired by fighter planes. The British and Americans had also researched aircraft carrier task forces, but had not yet reached the stage of actual combat, and were surprised by Japan's military operational capabilities. So why did Japan lose? 1) Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, was a spy for the US State Department. 2) Japan lost four aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway because it underestimated the US Navy and let its guard down too much. 3) The United States was dependent on the United States for 90% of its fuel and 70% of its food, but it was placed under economic blockade. Shipments from the Middle East were also halted, and by 1944 fuel supplies were cut off. Pine tar was extracted to refine oil, which was used to power fighter planes and warships, but the torque was low, and fighter planes could barely fly, even with experienced pilots.

That’s quite an amazing statement that Adm Yamamoto was a US spy! Any documentary proof?

correction, not just a democracy, there were many. the sheer might of free-market capitalism powered the war, the largest industrial base that the world had ever seen. The US govt had the might of the free market American industry to power the war, no other country even came close.

Yah like the communists weren't in Roosevelts office, thats a famous story now. Like the US never imposed sanctions on Japan. But let us jingoists overlook our nations wrongdoings all together and play a victim the entire time

"Imposed sanctions on japan" Yes, because they were conducting, undeclared war and have conducted it so brutally. You mights not know this but the embargo wasn't the 1st time US and japan came to blow. During japan's campaign to china, japanese planes sunk 3 US ships with 3 flags raised. Japan was not peacefully drinking tea when US embargoed them.
