Best Answer

Midway marked an important turning point in the war in the Pacific. Had the Japanese captured Midway and succeeded in destroying the carriers of the Pacific Fleet, Hawaii would have come under serious threat and the war possibly extended for months. With their loss at Midway, the threat to Hawaii was removed and Japan lost precious ships and highly-skilled aviators it could not easily replace.
