Why Japan Really Lost WWII — Sarah Paine Explains the Shocking Truth

In this episode, historian Sarah Paine breaks down the real strategic reasons behind Japan’s defeat in World War II. Drawing from decades of research on naval power, grand strategy, and Asian geopolitics, Paine explains how Japan’s critical miscalculations shaped the outcome of the Pacific War.
