The Battle of Midway is significant because...? A)it gave control of the Pacific theater to the Japanese
B)it marked the halfway point of the war
C)it was the first major battle between the US and Japan
D)it provided momentum for the US to go on the offensive in the Pacific

D) it provided momentum for the US to go on the offensive in the Pacific

Explanation:

You can immediately cross out A and C because the US won the battle and other major battles such as Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Coral Sea had already occured.

Between  B and D I would say D is the better answer because the US had won a major victory over the Japanese in Midway as they were able to sink 4 Japanese aircraft carriers which were vital to the Japanese navy. After the battle the US had the upper hand with their naval strength and were able to push back the Japanese until the end of the war.
