What If The US Had LOST The Battle Of The Coral Sea? The Entire Pacific War Changes | History Undone
James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and the naval YouTuber @Drachinifel to discuss one of the most oft-overlooked engagements of the Second World War: the Battle of the Coral Sea. It was the world's first carrier-to-carrier battle, with no ships actually catching sight of each other across the four day conflict. While the Battle of Midway that followed has gone down in history as a key turning point and famous American victory, the team argue that it was Coral Sea that set the tone and began to change US fortunes in the Pacific.

The island held firm, but if the Axis had taken hold here, how might the rest of the war have played out? This is History Undone.This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta.
