A BATALHA QUE CRIOU O MUNDO QUE VIVEMOS: MIDWAY

from Professor HOC · host Heni Ozi Cukier

Em junho de 1942, o Japão dominava o Pacífico e não perdia uma batalha há seis meses. Do outro lado, os Estados Unidos operavam com três porta-aviões que só sobreviveram a Pearl Harbor por sorte.Tudo indicava que o próximo confronto seria o golpe final japonês. Mas numa sala abafada no porão de um prédio em Pearl Harbor, um grupo de criptoanalistas interceptou o plano inteiro do inimigo — e transformou uma armadilha japonesa numa emboscada americana.O que aconteceu nos dias 4, 5 e 6 de junho de 1942 destruiu quatro porta-aviões, matou centenas dos melhores pilotos do Japão e inverteu o rumo da maior guerra do Pacífico. Tudo em menos de um dia.Neste vídeo, eu reconstruo cada decisão, cada erro e cada acaso que fizeram de Midway a batalha mais importante do século XX — e explico por que o mundo que ela criou ainda é o mundo em que a gente vive.
