Some people refer to it as a "turning point in the War", but that's a load of bull. The Japanese were still continuing to advance in the South Pacific, and it would be 4 more months before the Allies cleared them out.
It was only regarded as an important battle for 2 reasons:
1) It was the first major victory by the Allies against Japan.
2) Every single enemy aircraft - all 248 of them - was destroyed, causing heavy Japanese losses.
Answer:
The Battle of Midway was the turning point in the Pacific area of the war. The reason for this is that the Japanese were taken by surprise, lost 4 cruisers in the battle, and were weakened.
