These two battles marked the end of both German and Japanese expansionism during WW2 .
Midway in the Pacific, Stalingrad in Europe.
Midway and the Battle of Stalingrad
Two major battles are widely regarded as turning points. In the European Theater - The Battle of Stalingrad. In the Pacific Theater - The Battle of Midway.
You have to give us the list of battles you are to choose from for us to answer your question. I will tell you the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway were turning points for the Pacific War. The Battle of Stalingrad and The Battle of Britain were turning points in Europe.
Normandy in Europe and Midway in Pacific
The Russians held out at Stalingrad for many months. The Battle of Stalingrad was a long, epic, very bloody battle. It was the first time that German forces had been defeated and started a Soviet offensive.
These two engagements during WW2 both represent turning points in their specific theaters of war . The battle of Midway was a reversal for the Japanese in the PTO (Pacific Theater of Operations) whereas the battle of Stalingrad was the turning point on the Eastern Front . Neither of the Axis combatants ever regained the initiative .
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.
el Alamein in Egypt: Stalingrad in Russia: & Guadalcanal & Midway in the Pacific, oh, & Imphal & Kohima in Burma. & I suppose you could add bridging the 'Air gap' in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Primarily the Battle of Midway, after which the Allies had the upper hand - prior to Midway, the Japanese did.
I think I would also add el Alamein: they are the turning points in the war, after which the Axis is no longer in the ascendent.
The major turning point in the War in the Pacific was the Battle of Midway.
