Well, the Battle of Midway changed our entire strategy going forward, as afterward, the US was able to push in with massive victories. one reason for this, was we sunk 4 Japanese Carriers which took a very long time to make. Ultimately, it was the turning point to us winning in the Pacific massively rather than minor, or hard-fought victories.
Japan was defeated because the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Germany was defeated because it was an allied effort that produced two fronts. The western front(France) and the eastern front(Russia).
Japan was defeated long before the atomic bombs (incidentally, developed by a team of Allied scientists including several ex-Germans and at least one Italian) were dropped. Japan's manufacturing base had always been small, and by 1945 she was starved of resources (including fuel) as the Merchant Marine had been virtually wiped out. Many of her cities had been flattened by conventional bombing, too. In fact Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been largely left alone due to their relatively low strategic importance.
The Allies were able to defeat both Germany and Japan because by the end of the war their manufacturing capacity far outstripped the Axis'.
John was one of the "inner circle" of Christ's disciples, along with:
<u><em>James and peter </em></u>
<h3>
<em>Inner circle of disciples went up to mount of transfiguration; Went with Jesus and fell asleep while Jesus prayed : (Peter, James, and John)</em></h3><h3><u>
<em>After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. _(Matthew 17:1 )</em></u></h3>
