A turning point is a point in a war or campaign where one combatant experiences a reversal in fortune. The combatant losses the initiative, suffers loss of freedom in a theater of war and the opponent assumes the offensive.

The Battle of Midway in June 1942 was one such battle where after the American military assumed the offensive in the Central Pacific.
