Q:Describe your battle and explain its significance to the overall war effort - don't get bogged down with details about troop movements, etc. Each person will create an individual blog entry.
A: The battle of Midway was fought between the U.S., and the Empire of Japan. It was a month after the Battle of Coral Sea, and about six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. During this battle, the Japanese were looking to get a victory so they would be able to get a hold on Hawaii and own the Pacific. However, American codetalkers deciphered the Japanese code and knew the attack was coming. So the Americans sent air raids on the Japanese cruisers, and the Japanese (who were expecting ship vs. ship) fell one by one. This gave the U.S. an important victory and boosted the morale of the troops.
