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. It was a decisive naval battle where the United States, having broken Japanese codes, successfully ambushed and sank four Japanese aircraft carriers: Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu. This crippling loss severely weakened the Japanese naval fleet and shifted the balance of power in favor of the Allies. Midway's victory bolstered American morale and set the stage for subsequent offensives in the Pacific.
