Why was the Battle of Midway important to the war in the Pacific? Check all that apply.

Midway was considered an important strategic island for Japan in the war. On April 18, 1942, the United States launched its first attack on the Japanese home islands. This raid caused the Japanese to want to push back the American presence in the Pacific Ocean.

TRUE, each side of the war wanted to get ahead of each other which caused them to both try and make new technologies to defeat them. An example of this would be specific models of tanks designed to assault trenches. I'm not 100% sure but that should be the correct answer.
