The Japanese were seeking to invade and occupy Midway to protect their homeland from an attack such as that of the Doolittle Raid of April 1942. Instead, in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese lost four aircraft carriers -- the Soryu, the Kaga, Akagi and Hiryu -- while sinking one US carrier, the Yorktown. With this battle the Japanese were so weakened that they spent the rest of the war on defense.

The Battle of Midway changed the course of the war in the Pacific because the United States started attacking the Imperial Japanese Navy offensively rather than defensively. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans understood the superiority of aircraft carriers. By the end of the Battle of Midway, the Americans mastered the art of the aircraft carrier. In total, 4 Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk during this battle, Soryuu, Hiryuu, Akagi, and Kaga. The aircraft carrier sailed through the Pacific Campaign with glorious victories. It was what made large battleships obsolete, and its superiority is why the Untied States operates 11 aircraft carriers today, with a 12th one being built, more carriers than the entire world combined.
