6 months after the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, Admiral Yamamoto aimed to lure the American carriers to Midway and destroy them once and for all. 

Midway would have been taken, and perhaps even Hawaii. Along with a string of other  islands it would have created a Pacific wall over which the Americans would have to bloodily clamber if they ever wanted to win the war. But the repercussions of a Japanese victory would have had world-wide repercussions too.

The outcome of this battle would either see an American defeat even more devastating than Pearl Harbour, or see a turn in the tide from which the Japanese would never recover.
