Do you think The Battle Of Midland was a turning point in The Pacific War( World War Two)?

Question

I'm sorry I meant Midway,cause I just came back from Midland ave.Toronto half an hour ago.

Answer 1

Yes without a doubt Midway was decisive. The imperial japanese Navy up till that time had pretty much an unchecked string of victories. Midway changed all that. Japans loss of 4 carriers plus hundreds of veteran air crews could not be replaced. Japan would make good the numbers but never replace the cream of her naval pilots most of whom were lost. Midway was a strategically decisive victory. Withing a few months the US would be on the offensive and the japanese would never regain the initiative.

Answer 2

Yes the Battle of Midway was definitely a turning point on the Pacific theater due to the damage caused to the Japanese navy that had a far weaker industrial base for reconstruction of it's fleet.

Answer 3

If by Midland you mean Midway, then yes, since Japan lost 4 of its 6 main carriers.

Answer 4

If you mean the Battle of Midway, yes. Japan's ability to continue to expand in the Pacific was destroyed and from that point until the end of the war Japan was on the defensive.

Answer 5

I assume you mean the battle of Midway, not midland, and yes, it was the turning point of the war. The US and Japan clashed, each with 4 carriers in their fleets. After the battle, the Japanese withdrew, 3 carriers sunk, while the US had one severely damaged, and one lightly damaged. We drove them off and delivered a serious blow to their naval power, enabling us to begin our island hopping campaign.

Answer 6

Midaway sure did put a dent in Japans strategies and abilities to get fighting planes and men near strategic points. Thanks to a lone Aussie spotter sitting on a little Island in the Pacific who weeks just watching out to see....one day he saw this huge fleet of ships going past.
He radioed in their position and the Allied Fleet was informed and knew what was coming. If he had not seen them....who knows what could have happened.

Answer 7

I thought I'd heard alot about WWII. But I've never heard of the Battle of Midland. So it must have been one of the less-significant battles.

Answer 8

Are you speaking of Midway. the island air base? If so YES it was,the decimated the Imperial fleet to the point they could not recover.

Answer 9

Yes - the japanese lost so many aircraft carriers that it finished their air combat ability over much of the Pacific and made them vulnerable to surprise attack by the allies.

Answer 10

Ya it was. The Japanese fleet lost a ton of ships in that. Battle of Normandy was the turning point in the Europe theater.
