Explanation
At Midway in June 1942, the U.S. Navy defeated a major Japanese force and sank four Japanese aircraft carriers. This halted Japan’s expansion across the Pacific and shifted the momentum toward the Allies, making the battle a turning point in the Pacific War. The battle did not turn the war in Japan’s favor or cause the fall of the Philippines to Japan.
