A simple question with a simple answer. In June 1942 after the American victory in the the famed battle of midway, the IJN (imperial Japanese navy) suffered severe losses and had to fall back towards Japan which is where the pacific battles remained until the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending WWII.
During World War II, the turning point in the Pacific came in June of 1942 with the Battle of Midway. While the decisive defeat of the Japanese in this battle did not ensure that the United States would go on to achieve a quick victory in the war, it did ensure that the Japanese would not gain a quick victory, either. Given the industrial advantage of the United States, the assurance that the war would continue for several years (due to the Battle of Midway) all but guaranteed that the United States would emerge as the ultimate victor.
The Battle of Midway June 3 - 7, 1942 was the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

Totally disagree, since Pearl Harbor was the start of the battle in the Pacific and was not the turning point at all. The turning point in the Pacific theater is normally considered to be the Battle of Midway, in which the US achieved a victory and began the push toward Japan.
