The Battle of Midway, fought from June 4 to June 7, 1942, marked a significant turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II and effectively ended Japanese expansion. In this decisive naval battle, the United States Navy achieved a crucial victory by sinking four Japanese aircraft carriers while losing only one of its own. This defeat crippled the Japanese fleet and shifted the balance of power in favor of the Allies, halting further Japanese advances in the Pacific. Following Midway, the Allies began a series of offensives to reclaim territory lost to Japan.
