Was the Battle of Midway fought on the ocean?

Very much so. The Island of Midway is a small atoll a little over 2 square miles that is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 1,500 miles NW of Hawaii. That was the only piece of land in the entire battle and the Japanese never set foot on it. The battle was considered the most decisive battle of WWII in the Pacific as it effectively wiped out the Japanese carrier fleet (4 carriers sunk) and their best pilots and turned the war into the Allies favor. The losses were irreplaceable to the Japanese because of their limited resources and shipyards and very long training programs for pilots.


How was the world affected by The Battle of Midway?

Because the IJN's best Torpedo Bomber, Dive Bomber, and Fighter Aircrewmen were killed at Midway; those particular airmen would not be able to kill or destroy allied Aircraft Carriers, Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers, Landing Ships, Transport Ships, Supply Ships, Submarines, or any other allied vessels afloat during the future (post Midway) battles of WWII. If those particular airmen had lived and fought on...then post Midway battles would have been FAR BLOODIER than they ended up being.
