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.
