The Bataan Death March got its name when nearly 72,000 American and Filipino prisoners during WWII were forced to march from the southern part of Bataan to the northern side. During the march, over 10,000 died due to harsh treatment or hot weather conditions. In 1942 after MacArthur was forced to leave the Philippines because the Japanese had invaded it, Bataan Peninsula was surrendered to the Japanese, and all these soldiers were taken prisoners.
