The key battles of WW2 in the Pacific included Battle of Midway in which the Japanese lost 4 of their 6 heavy carriers and a good chunk of their trained aircrews. Also the Battle of the Coral Sea in which the Japanese had damaged carriers that ultimately decided the war in the fact that only 4 of the carriers were available for the battle.

The Battle for Australia, where for the first time the Japanese were defeated (by Australians) as well as Japanese defeats at Kokoda and Milne Bay.

The second battle was the Battle of Midway where the Japanese suffered a major naval defeat.
