A few hundred miles away, a Japanese staff officer was also penning a report, an appreciation of the Pacific war situation just before the two battles of Guadalcanal, which read, ‘It must be said that the success or failure in recapturing Guadalcanal Island, and the vital naval battle related to it, is the fork in the road which leads to victory for them or us.’
That was the day that the tide turned in the Pacific War. From that point on the US had the initiative and never lost it.

Actually Midway was when the Japs lost the initiative, but Guadalcanal bought us time and proved that we could beat the Japanese army in the jungles.
