Battle of Coral Sea was awesome, no ships actually firing on each other, first naval battle in history where that happened. It was plane to plane fighting and shooting from really far away. Admiral Chester Nimitz was a fantastic admiral in command of a lot of ships. Battle of Coral Sea STOPPED the Japanese, so that was cool, but then the Battle of Midway was the serious turning point o f the war. Fought June 4-7 1942. The japs wanted to eliminate the United States as a strategic power in the pacific but our navy destroyed them and they never recovered. Magic played a vital role.  The Guadalcanan Campaight was fought between august seventh nineteen fourty two and february ninth ninteenfortythree in the Soloman Island Archipelago.  Significant steategic victory by allied forced over the japanese. Before this we were always defensive, and after it we were always on the offensive.
