In the war against the Japanese Empire there were three events in a pretty short time frame that in my view were pivotal. First the "Dolittle's Raid" on the Japanes homeland did little damage but showed the Japanese their vulnerability. Secondy, "Battle of the Coral Sea" followed by the "Battle of Midway". After these two sea battles, the two navies were essentially on a par, wheras the Japanese had greater superiority prior.
