03-06-1942

It is World War II. Japan attacks Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It is a hard time for the US. Americans do not know that the attack will happen.

Japan has many planes and ships in the Pacific Ocean. The country wants to control all of the Pacific Ocean.

Japan plans to attack the Midway Atoll. The Midway Atoll is a small island. It is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is very important for Japan. It will give Japan full control of the Pacific.

Then the US reads a secret Japanese message. The US knows about Japanese plans.

Japan attacks two Aleutian Islands on June 3, 1942. The Battle of Midway begins the next day on June 4, 1942.

Difficult words: control (to have full power), secret (something that people do not know about), battle (a fight in a war).
