The battle known as the "Turning Point" in the Pacific Theater during World War II is the Battle of Midway, fought from June 4 to June 7, 1942. This pivotal naval battle saw the United States Navy achieve a decisive victory against the Imperial Japanese Navy, significantly altering the trajectory of the war in the Pacific. The U.S. managed to sink four Japanese aircraft carriers—Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu—while only losing one of its own, the USS Yorktown. Midway not only halted Japanese expansion but also bolstered American morale and strategic positioning, ultimately contributing to the Allies' momentum in subsequent campaigns against Japan.
