Best Answer

Midway was a small island in the Pacific Ocean with an airbase in it. It was important because it was one of the only islands where Japanese planes could reach Hawaii and the U.S. could reach Japan. It could have meant the end of USA. Many invasions and naval battles were fought around the island./// The most important battle was called "The Battle of Midway". A mere 7 months after the shocking attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor the U.S. Navy and The Imperial Japanese Navy clashed in the vicinity(relative) of Midway. When the battle was over, 4 Japanese aircraft carriers were at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, and Soryu.
