How did the locations of Hawaii and Midway make them important islands to Japan and the US in World War 2?

They were ideal locations for ports and aircraft refueling. Both provided excellent staging areas if a nation were to attack. Japan wanted to rule the Pacific, and tried to take Hawaii so that they would have more control. Because of differences in aircraft and nuclear war ships, Hawaii and Midway are not as strategically important as they were before, but they still allow a nation to have military influence in the Pacific.
