Explanation:

The Battle of Midway was a naval battle in the Pacific during WWII. The loss of four Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway halted their Pacific advance, making this the correct reason for it being a turning point. The Soviet Union joining against Germany/Japan wasn't Midway - related, German tank defeat in N. Africa was the Battle of El Alamein (not Midway), and Midway didn't force Japan's surrender (that was later with atomic bombs and Soviet entry).

Answer:

The loss of four large aircraft carriers caused a halt to the Pacific advance of Japanese forces.
