Explanation:

The Battle of Midway (1942) was a decisive U.S. naval victory. Japan lost 4 of its core aircraft carriers, crippling its offensive naval capability in the Pacific. This allowed the U.S. to shift from defensive to offensive operations, making it a key turning point in WWII's Pacific theater. The other options are incorrect: Japanese forces were weakened, not emboldened; U.S. forces did not retreat; Japan did not turn on Germany.

Answer:

D. It was a turning point, after which America began taking the fight to Japan.
