"If America lost, they'd be helpless without carriers and a Pacific base and they would be forced into an Armistice with Japan."

If America lost at Midway the inevitable destruction of Japan would have been delayed slightly. Japan had no capacity to force America into anything.

Japan has always been a tiny island nation with limited natural resources and manpower....

The victory was never in doubt, just the timing and the cost.
