The Battle of the Coral Sea occurred in April 1942, from the 4th to the 8th. It was a significant naval engagement between Allied forces, primarily the United States and Australia, and the Imperial Japanese Navy. This battle marked the first major check on Japanese expansion in the Pacific and was notable for being the first naval battle fought entirely by aircraft launched from carriers, with no ships directly engaging each other. The outcome, while tactically a draw, strategically halted Japanese advances toward Australia.
Until 1942, Japan was in near complete control of the war in the Pacific. Its empire was rapidly expanded. That control was diminished with the Japanese loss in the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, 1942, which prevented an invasion of Australia. The tide was turned completely at the Battle of Midway in June where the Japanese fleet was close to decimated.After quick advances, the extension of Japanese control was halted by American victories in the Coral Sea and Midway

The battle was significant as it halted the Japanese southern advance towards Australia and boosted Allied morale.
