The Allied Forces defeated the Axis powers in Europe in May of 1945. The Germans finally surrendered to the Allied Forces and the Soviets in Berlin. The Japanese were defeated months later in September.

It meant that Hitler no longer controlled Europe and Japan no longer controlled the Pacific.
Nazi Germany had control of Normandy and Paris, France so The Allies pushed them back to Germany and took control of Normandy which made it easier to achieve V-E day (Victory Europe Day)

true ;

In the Pacific, it was the Battle of Midway. In Europe, it was the invasion of Normandy (D-Day).
A victory can be hollow if the reason for the victory would have made no difference to the overall outcome. An example of this would be the Nazis victory at the Battle of the Bulge. Their victory was in a way a Pyrric victory as they pretty much won their objectives which was to force the Allies back and gain a chance to get a quick victory for morale but in doing so, they lost much of their tank and artillary which led to a faster advance across Europe by the Allies.
Japanβs victory at the Battle of Coral Sea had frustrated Allied objectives
The Battle of Midway was a critical victory for the Allies because it stopped Japanese expansion into the Pacific, and thus slowed it towards America. After invading Manchuria and China in 1932 and 1937 respectively, Japan moved on to many other islands in the Pacific, eventually attacking Pearl Harbor and bringing America into the war on Dec. 7th, 1941. Once America was in the war, two fronts were launched: the European front against the Nazi-Fascist Europe, and the Pacific front. The Pacific was being overrun and invaded by Japanese forces, and unless the Allies stopped Japan before they reached American owned soil, America would be invaded for the first time since the Revolutionary War.
