You completely contradict yourself in this post.

Not quiet so fast me buckooo..Churchill upon hearing that Pearl had been bombed and that the US was now in the war stated with certainty that the Allies had just won the war...Thus it was known by Churchill to have been a foregone conclusion.

Losing at Midway would have made the situation more dicey and would have prolonged the conflict. The results would have been the same as the US industrial capacity still would have kicked in,and taht Japan was vastly inferior to Americas industrial capacity.

With Midway in Jap hands it would have opened Hawaii to attack, perhaps not invasion..in other words Hawaii would have become the front lines and not the staging area it was. The US would have had to use the West Coast for the staging area, and would have been subject to Japanese raids...That is why they built the Kaiser Steel Plant in Fontana, CA (60 miles inland) in 1942 and not on the coast, which would have made the cost of transportation of materials cheaper.


If the Coral Sea ended the immediate threat of Australia's invasion, the Jap airstrip at Guadalcanal would have interfered with Australia's communication and supply lines. Thus putting Australia in jeapordy. Midway iretrievabily set Japan back but did not immediatily end Japans expansion.

Japan still had a Carrier force...after Midway...the US and Japs were basically trading ships...only thing was the Japs couldn't replace the ships or the trained personal.
