How did the US know that japan was going to atttack in the battle of midway?
The Allied Forces had a cryptographer. He deciphered the Japanese messages. He learned they were going to make an attack. However, he was unable to learn where the attack would be. Someone came up with the brilliant idea of sending a phony message (since they knew the Japanese were deciphering their messages). The phony message said that Midway Island's desalinization machine was not working so there is limited fresh water. Please send a new machine the message requested. So the Japanese sent a message to mainland Japan to tell them the desalinization machine was broken at the attack location. Then the Allied Forces knew the Japanese were going to attack Midway. So they got ready to attack the Japanese back and they won the battle.

When did the war with japan end and what happened there?
Japan officially surrendered to Allied forces in September of 1945. As American forces advanced, taking island after island, the Japanese military bulked up their mainland defenses and dug themselves in. U.S. intelligence reports at the time estimated that tens of thousands of American soldiers would be lost if they attempted a ground invasion of the Japanese mainland. In Late July of 1945, The army Corps of Engineers completed the first nuclear bombs. The U.S. military warned Japan to surrender, or face "terrible destruction and loss of life". Japan did not comply, and on August 6th, the city of Hiroshima was vaporized by a U.S. Nuclear attack. Soon after, Japan agreed to a cease fire, and then an official surrender.
