Detailed explanation-1: -The battle of midway was the turning point of WWII in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. The Japanese objective of keeping the United States out of the war was not realized and, as a result, Japan lost the war. This battle was the turning point of the war for both Japan and America.
Detailed explanation-2: -JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii-The Battle of Midway, referred to as the turning point of the Pacific War of World War II, took place from June 3 to 7, 1942, near the Midway atoll in the Pacific.
Detailed explanation-3: -One logical conclusion is that Midway would have fallen to the Japanese; although heavily defended, the island would have been surrounded. With the U.S. carriers gone, the Japanese would have had aerial dominance, allowing Imperial warships and aircraft to bomb the defenders at will.
Detailed explanation-4: -Japan was unable to match the U.S. air power and, after heavy losses, abandoned efforts to land on Midway. The battle brought the Pacific naval forces of Japan and the U.S. to approximate parity and marked the turning point of the war between the two countries.
Detailed explanation-5: -Believing that Japan was invincible in war, the Japanese planners made the fatal mistake of underrating American military capabilities and response.
