The Battle of Midway was significant because it was the turning point in the Pacific theater during World War 2.
Before The Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942,the Imperial Navy of Japan had swept aside all of its enemies from the Pacific and Indian oceans.Yamamoto's plan was to attack and then assault the two islands that make up The Midway Atoll.
The US navy defeated a Japanese attack against Midway Atoll,marking a turning point in the war in the Pacific theater.
Six months after the attack on Pearl Harbour,the US defeated Japan in one of the most decisive naval battles of World War 2.
