If you’re really interested in Midway and its effects on the war, read “Shattered Sword”.
For what it’s worth, the author of the book maintains that the overall outcome of the war with Japan would not have changed; once the sleeping industrial giant was awakened, Japan’s defeat — sooner or later — was all but guaranteed.
There was a story that Gen. DeGaulle was in a conference with some staff around Dec. 7, '41 when an officer rushed in and breathlessly declared that Japan had attacked America. DeGaulle told his staff "We have won the war". (This was even before Germany committed suicide by declaring war on the U.S.) His staff looked at him as if he was crazy, as their backs were against the wall.
DeGaulle knew that America's industrial might would crush the enemy. As did Yamamoto.
