Turning point of World War 2 in Pacific?

Answer 1

During World War II, quite a few battles can be cited as turning-points in the Pacific Theater to some extent. By most accounts, however, the Battle of Midway (in June 1942) is the most important, as it not only checked the northern prong of the Japanese advance; it also delivered decisive losses upon the Japanese fleet from which that fleet would in fact never recover.

Answer 2

the naval turning point was the Battle of Midway, but the pacific midpoint on land can also be seen as the Battle of Guadelcanal

Answer 3

In Europe, anyway, the Battle of Stalingrad is widely regarded as the key turning point. After Stalingrad, Germany had no hope of winning the war, only of prolonging it.
