The goal of the Japanese was to use the bombing of Midway to lure the Americans into an uneven fight, and annihilate the US carrier force. The US goal was to ambush the Japanese and annihilate the Japanese carrier force.
The mission of the Japanese Navy was to take Midway Island, to be used as a re-supply base. This mission was intercepted by US Naval forces, resulting in the "Battle of Midway."
The objective of the Japanese Navy at the Battle of Midway was two-fold. The first objective was to lure the American carriers out and destroy them. This would have given the Japanese Navy total superiority in the Pacific. The second objective, was to land an invasion force at Midway and take the atoll (the "island" of Midway). This would have provide Japan with an easternmost base capable of launching land based bombers to Hawaii.
The Battle of Midway was fought by the Japanese Navy and the US Navy between 4th and 7th of June 1942. The Japanese were wanting to take over Midway partly to use in further attacks on Hawaii and to prevent more attacks on the Japanese home islands. The Japanese high command also wanted to take over part of the Aleutian Islands at the same time, so part of their forces were assigned to invade there at the same time.

The Battle of MidwayThe Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, the HIRYU, SORYU, KAGA, and AKAGI, along with their most experienced pilots who had fought in the early campaigns of the war and throughout China and Russia in Japan's previous wars. These losses proved devastating to the Japanese campaign in the Pacific, forcing the Japanese navy to take a more defensive stance in the Pacific War. The Americans, on the other hand, had lost only one carrier, the YORKTOWN, which had been previously damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
