The ability to read some of the Japanese communications by breaking cyphers before the battle was the main reason for the success. Also, the various Japanese formations were not able to support each other as they were too far apart.

What were the key battle sites of the Pacific during World War 2?

The Battle of MidwayThe Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, the HIRYU, SORYU, KAGA, and AKAGI, along with their most experienced pilots who had fought in the early campaigns of the war and throughout China and Russia in Japan's previous wars. These losses proved devastating to the Japanese campaign in the Pacific, forcing the Japanese navy to take a more defensive stance in the Pacific War. The Americans, on the other hand, had lost only one carrier, the YORKTOWN, which had been previously damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Battle of Midway was the first major American naval victory of WWII.
