After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 4th, 1941, the United States decided to enter World War II. Japan was winning in the beginning of the war because they had better technology and more weapons. The odds for the United States were not looking good. On June 4th, 1942, six months after Pearl Harbor, one of the most notorious battles took place on a small Pacific island called Midway. This battle was the start of the downfall for the Japanese military. All the odds were against the United States, but this battle has proven to never underestimate something. You must put your heart into something to beat the odds. People from all overheard about this battle because it was such a turnaround for the war. It helped the Allies in a huge way and was one of the main causes of how they won the war. The things the United Sates Navy was able to accomplish was record breaking and too this day no one has been able to do it since. The drive those seamen had was never seen before. The strength in the nation was also a huge factor in this battle. If the citizens of the United States did not come together and join the military or help the ones back one it would not be possible to win that battle. The nation being united was heard about all over the world and how everyone came together to help one another.
