Japan Thought Pearl Harbor Would End The War In Months — America's Response In 6 Months Shocked Them

Описание: Japan Thought Pearl Harbor Would End the War in Months — America's Response in 6 Months Shocked Them. Discover how Admiral Yamamoto's worst fears came true as American industrial might transformed the Pacific War. When Japanese forces struck Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they believed they had crippled America's ability to fight back. Instead, they triggered the most rapid industrial mobilization in human history. Within six months, American factories were producing aircraft, ships, and tanks at rates Japanese planners had calculated were mathematically impossible. This documentary reveals the untold story of how Roosevelt's seemingly impossible production goals—60,000 aircraft in 1942, 125,000 in 1943—became reality. Learn how American women went from less than 1% of the aircraft workforce to 65% by war's end, how Liberty Ships were built in days instead of months, and how the B-29 Superfortress, with 40,540 parts and 12 tonnes of aluminum, represented industrial capacity Japan could never match. From the Battle of Midway exactly six months after Pearl Harbor to the systematic destruction of Japanese naval aviation at the Philippine Sea, American production overwhelmed Japanese forces. By war's end, America had built 297,000 aircraft to Japan's 85,611, 86,000 tanks to Japan's 6,500, and 6,800 naval vessels to Japan's fewer than 1,000. This is the story of how industrial capacity, not just military courage, decided World War II in the Pacific—and why Yamamoto's prediction of six months of success proved tragically accurate for Japan. Featuring verified historical statistics, battle analyses, and the remarkable mobilization of American society that changed warfare forever.
