MIDWAY
It was Yamamoto who forewarned the emperor that he could not expect more than 6 months of success against the United States following The Pearl Harbor attack. It was almost 6 months to the day at Midway!
As for school history... most kids are lucky if they even get to hear about any campaigns in WWII. I know I didn't. Our High School project was to give a presentation on WWII. Luckily I grew up in the Philippines and was exposed to history and WWII early on.
I knew more about WWII as a child than most adults.
