Why the Americans were able to win the war
The Japanese had already pretty much destroyed the U.S Navy in the region of Hawaii (Pearl Harbour), but the ships werent entirely ruined. The Americans could rebuild their fleet but it would take some time for it to happen. The U.S American Navy was located at Hawaii which means that the water was shallow that the ships did not fully sink. The Americans weren't being attacked at the time before that so they had alot of time and money. What the Japanese did was Bring in America to the war which was a really big mistake.
Estimates are that between 750,000 and 1,000,000 would have died in an all out invasion so for the americans it was a good thing to save lifes for the Americans
Well I think its because Japan underestimated the Allies industrial capabilities but that's kind of open for debate
Guadalcanal was primarily a series of naval battles lasting 6 months. Japan lost the battle for Guadalcanal.
Over 7,000 US servicemen died at Guadalcanal. Contrary to popular opinion, and the Television "History Channel/Military Channel" Guadalcanal episode, which was hosted by retired US Army General Norman Schwarzkopf; Guadalcanal not a "Marine Battle", Guadalcanal was a small Marine Corps action (compared to Tarawa and Iwo Jima), and a MASSIVE US Navy campaign (which was quickly glossed over in the televised segment). Approximately 1,769 US Marines perished on Guadalcanal, and about 420 US Airmen; but close to 5,000 US Sailors died fighting from 27 US Navy warships that were sunk, in histories most savage and furious sea battles, surrounding the Guadalcanal islands.

Naval Battle of Guadalcanal
Guadalcanal. Then later Choiseul and Cape Gloucester. There were several large Naval Battles, including the Naval battle of Guadalcanal, the Battle of Savo Island, and one of the four great carrier battles of 1942, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons.
Guadalcanal. However, it was a six month long battle...with many US losses, then finally a US win. Contrary to popular belief; Guadalcanal wasn't simply a land fight...it was a series of NAVAL battles, in which the US Navy suffered about the same, if not more losses than the Japanese Navy did. Had the USN lost the naval battle, the US Marines on the island would have starved and ran out of ammunition, ultimately losing the ground war on Guadalcanal. As it was, the Japanese ARMY starved and ran of ammunition...and ultimately lost the ground war. However, instead of being wiped out or surrendering (which wasn't going to happen)...they evacuated the island(s), and were transported to other garrisons to continue the war. They were transported by high speed warships (destroyers) under cover of darkness.
USN vs Imperial Navy. US Marines & Imperial Army were supporting functions.
