At the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the American military achieved a decisive victory against the Japanese Navy, marking a turning point in the Pacific Theater of World War II. U.S. forces successfully sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers—Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu—while losing only one carrier, the USS Yorktown. This victory significantly weakened Japanese naval strength and shifted the balance of power in favor of the Allies, allowing them to take the offensive in subsequent battles.
