The Battle of Midway was one of the most important naval battles of the Pacific Campaign of WWII. It was fought between the U.S. and Japanese navies June 4-7, 1942. This battle turned the tide of the war in the Pacific in favor of the Americans. The Japanese navy wanted to eliminate the United States as a strategic power in the Pacific, which would have given Japan the ability to establish its Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Eliminating U.S. interference would also have extended the Japanese defensive perimeter in the Pacific. The Japanese had planned to lure the American naval forces into a trap around the U.S.-held island of Midway; however, American code breakers were able to determine the details of the attack and defend against it. The Japanese navy suffered heavy losses including four aircraft carriers and a heavy cruiser, while Americans only lost one aircraft carrier and a destroyer. These heavy losses permanently weakened the Imperial Japanese navy, which had previously been one of the strongest in the world at the time. Whereas Japan had been expanding its territory before the Battle of Midway, after the battle, its empire slowly began to shrink.
