WW2 has a few key moments you can point to and say "Yep, that was the moment our victory was decided." In Europe it was the Normandy Invasion. In the Pacific against the Empire of Japan, that turning point was the Battle of Midway. Just 6 months after the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan was set to lure our remaining Aircraft Carriers into an ambush and establish total control in the pacific. What stood in their way was a team of American Codebreakers and Intelligence Officers,  3 Aircraft Carriers, and what could only amount to pure heroism and some luck during the course of the battle.
