USA/Japan: Commemorative poster celebrating the US victory over Imperial Japan at Midway, 4-7 June 1942. Illustration by Larry Wolfe (public domain), 2011. The Battle of Midway is widely regarded as the most important naval battle of the Pacific Campaign of World War II. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, approximately one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea and six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Navy decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) attack against Midway Atoll, inflicting irreparable damage on the Japanese fleet.
