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.
