The Battler of Midway was a turning point in the war because it represented a decisive defeat of the Japanese navy only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The destruction of Japanese naval assets and the loss of life after Midway undermined Japanese efforts to establish a foothold in the Pacific. The answer is C.
