Today is the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on Japan. Although the damage was quite minimal it had two significant results: a moral boost as a U.S. attack on the Japanese Home Islands a little over four months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and far more significantly in provoking the IJN into attempting to expand the Japanese perimeter to Wake and Midway Islands which led to the Battle of Midway and the loss of four Japanese Fleet Carriers.
