Detailed explanation-1: -The Imperial Japanese Navy would not be capable of overcoming the loss of four carriers and over 100 trained pilots, and with the loss at Midway, the Japanese offensive in the Pacific was overturned and the United States began offensive action in the Pacific.
Detailed explanation-2: -Battle of Midway, (June 3–6, 1942), World War II naval battle, fought almost entirely with aircraft, in which the United States destroyed Japan’s first-line carrier strength and most of its best trained naval pilots.
Detailed explanation-3: -The U.S. Navy’s decisive victory in the air-sea battle (June 3-6, 1942) and its successful defense of the major base located at Midway Island dashed Japan’s hopes of neutralizing the United States as a naval power and effectively turned the tide of World War II in the Pacific.
Detailed explanation-4: -The battle of Midway was a turning point in the war because the Japanese navy lost four of their large carriers which were critical in the Japanese effort to overtake American islands. Over 3, 000 Japanese were killed during this battle as well, which added on to an already stunning defeat.
