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.
