The Americans knew the Japanese were on their way before the Battle of Midway. How did the Americans know about Japanese plans before the battle?
Answer Code breaking
US code breakers deciphered parts of the Japanese code and discovered that Midway was about to be attacked. The Americans quickly decided to turn it into an ambush. The intelligence paid off, and the US won the battle and helped turn the tide in the Pacific War.
