NovaNET Answer: American and filipino prisoners were forced to walk through the jungle to a prison, and many thousands died along the way.
During World War II, the Bataan Death March occurred in 1942 after Japanese troops occupied the Philippines. It received its name from the area in which the march (mainly) occurred -- the Bataan Peninsula -- and from the number of deaths that it caused among the wounded and under-nourished (and simply fatigued) Allied soldiers involved in it.
