Midway was a significant blow against Japanese naval air power.
The US victory at the Battle of Midway was a significant one for several reasons: A. The war between the US & Japan began on December 7, 1941 and from that point forward Japan had been making success after success in the Pacific Theater; B. Japan's attack on the US Naval Base on December 7th was a severe blow, although most of the US fleet was out on maneuvers; C. Japan was having its way in the Pacific, taking over the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies and the Malay States; D. Japan was also carving up China since 1931 & so far seemed invincible; E. Both Japan & the US knew that naval control of key parts of the Pacific Ocean was going to establish which side would be victorious; F. The Battle in the Midway Islands took place in June of 1942; G. It was important for the US to have a major victory from a psychological point of view for the American public; H. Japan sought to strike another major blow against the US navy at Midway and thus invested many warships into the Battle of Midway; I. Generally speaking, both sides recognized the importance of aircraft carriers in the war; J. The US victory over Japan at Midway cost the Japanese Imperial Navy 4 of its important aircraft carriers while the US lost only one; and K. The result of the victory destroyed for good any myth that Japan could easily win the war against the US with its naval fleet in the Pacific. This victory, a major one, was only 7 months since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus from both a military point of view and for the positive impact it had on the American people, the victory was significant. The importance of it cannot be overestimated.
It was a major turning point for the War in the Pacific and the war against Japan. A huge invasion force along with 4 major carriers were lost by Japan. A loss that Japan could not make up before it far to late.
I believe it was the Battle of Midway.
During World War II, Japan's initial offensives were wildly successful, and the Allies were on the retreat throughout the Pacific. After several key victories, however, the Allies soon began their own series of attacks. Perhaps the most important "key" victory was the American victory in the Battle of Midway (in June of 1942), which blunted Japan's carrier force and bought the Allies valuable time to gather their resources for offensive action.

The Battle of Midway, was the turning point in the the second World War, between the Japanese and American naval and air forces. It was a victory for America, with Japan never able to mount a substantial naval attack again. The term' axis' was given to Germany, Italy, and Japan during the European second World War. At Midway only the Americans and the Japanese were involved - and as Japan lost the battle, it was not an axis victory!
