Japan needed concentration rather than dispersion

Would Japan have done better by relying less on the Midway operation?

It should have concentrated strength where the United States was divided rather than dispersing forces across competing objectives.

The answer focuses on relative concentration instead of an abstract preference for attacking everywhere. An operation should receive enough force to dominate its chosen theatre or be abandoned. Because American commitments would naturally divide their strength, Japan could sometimes create local superiority by concentrating where the United States was weaker. Midway becomes an example of the danger of dispersing assets across linked objectives instead of applying one coherent mass.
