Here's another what if. Wake Island was a major American base in 1941.
It was going to the forward base of the Pacific Fleet's submarines. However,
it fell to the Japanese in 1942, and became a Japanese base until the end of the of the war. The USN had plans to relieve it but they came all came to nothing because the admiral who was supposed to relieve Wake Island was an
overly cautious man and wouldn't send ships, and troops, to relieve it. So what
if Wake Island was relieved?
