The Battle of Midway was an epic battle between the U.S. Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy on June 3- 6, 1942.

The Battle to liberate Italy began with the invasion of Sicily by Allied forces in July 1943, and led to the collapse of the Fascist Italian Regime.

D-Day on June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the Allied armies which became the largest amphibious invasion; this was a decisive victory which ultimately led to the surrender of the German Nazi forces to end the war.
