But also with the amount of damage the Japanese fleet took, the Allied forces used that to push harder and win battles against the naval fleets of Japan. So on the grand scale of things this battle was a Japanese tactical victory, but later to prove that it was an American strategic victory. So most Naval expert have the argument that overall battle was a win for the Allied fleet, due to the heavy loss of aircraft from the Japanese fleet. When other’s stand by the lost carrier of the Allied to the Japanese fleet. I believe that when you look at total damage to both fleets to include aircraft. I still think that the Japanese fleet won this battle. When you look more into larger scale the information that is present yes it was a strategic victory for the Allied forces. With being able to repair and push the ships back into battles and the fact that they still had many of their seasoned aircraft crews. Helped down the road for an overall victory over the Japanese. In many Naval books this battle is used as an example on how a small battle can still affect the overall victory and how in this case it did. It also is

Japan felt the need to expand and conquer because they had been forced into the modern age by the United States, and they believed it was their destiny to exert government over other nations (Chang 23-24). The Japanese felt the need to do something before China became “too powerful to be conquered” (Chang 28-29). This put Japan on the path to war with China (Chang 25).

Japan was an isolationist before 1852 with very little contact to countries in the western areas. Although later Japan would open its Shamoda ports to trade with the Dutch. Part of this was because the United States threatened Japan to open the ports for trade. The US also made Japan sighn unequal treaties to make Japan do things. The Japanese were influenced by the US and did the same thing to Korea. Although the Japanese only had contact to the outside for some years they had grown a lot.
