Question

Which of the following best explains the significance of the Battle of Midway?

Answer 1

The Battle of Midway is significant because it turned the tide of the U.S. war in the Pacific.

Further Explanation:

The Battle of Midway took place between June 4, 1942 and June 7, 1942. This battle between the US military and Japanese happened only six short months after the US entered World War II (due to the attack on Pearl Harbor).  The location of Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean was critical to Japan and the United States. If the United States loses control of their military base on Midway Atoll, they would lose control of their last viable military base in the Pacific Ocean. This loss of control was a real threat to the US, as Japan had significant success in previous battles in the Pacific Ocean.

Despite having less carriers, support ships, carrier aircraft, and submarines than the Japanese military, the US came out with a victory. This enormous victory for the US changed the tide of the war, as the US military began their offensive attack (known as island hopping) that ultimately lead to success in World War II.
