    Among the options shown here:

    American forces began attacking Japanese bases.

    Explanation:

    The Battle of Midway, fought between June 3-6, 1942, broke the power and sensibly damaged the operational capacity of the Japanese Navy. All the four Japanese aircraft carriers were destroyed by American pilots. The carriers have been the most strategic warships in modern naval warfare since WWII.

    The Japanese command attempted to gain naval and air superiority in the Pacific by delivering a blow to American air force and Navy in Midway. However, their plans were soured and instead, Japan's Imperial Navy suffered a crushing defeat: it lost 3,000 men, 300 airplanes and over 200 hundred of its best pilots, a heavy cruiser and its four carriers. The American losses were inferior, including a carrier. Japan lost its ability to expand in the Pacific and since then it fought the war on the defensive.
