The only form of any modern technology the Japanese used on the Bataan March would have been automatic rifles. They did not even need these. They simply used their swords and their own fists to kills those who collapsed.

The soldiers fell like flies on that March because they were already in starvation mode.

When was the Death Camp finally stopped after the Bataan Death March?

Here is an explanation about the people of the Bataan Death March and the POW camp they were interned in for three years.Bataan Death MarchFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBataan -- Death march -- Corregidor -- MindanaoThe Bataan Death March (also known as The Death March of Bataan) took place in the Philippines in 1942 and was later accounted as a Japanese war crime. The 60-mile (97 km) march occurred after the three-month Battle of Bataan, part of the Battle of the Philippines (1941--42), during World War II. In Japanese, it is known as Batān Shi no Kōshin.The march, involving the forcible transfer of 75,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war captured by the Japanese in the Philippines from the Bataan peninsula to prison camps, was characterized by wide-ranging physical abuse and murder, and resulted in very high fatalities inflicted upon the prisoners and civilians along the route by the armed forces of the Empire of Japan. Beheadings, cutting of throats and casual shootings were the more common actions---compared to instances of bayonet stabbing, rape, disembowelment, rifle butt beating and a deliberate refusal to allow the prisoners food or water while keeping them continually marching for nearly a week in tropical heat. Falling down or inability to continue moving was tantamount to a death sentence, as was any degree of protest or expression of displeasure.Prisoners were attacked for assisting someone failing due to weakness, or for no apparent reason whatsoever. Strings of Japanese trucks were known to drive over anyone who fell. Riders in vehicles would casually stick out a rifle bayonet and cut a string of throats in the lines of men marching alongside the road. Accounts of being forcibly marched for five to six days with no food and a single sip of water are in postwar archives including filmed reports.The exact death count has been impossible to determine, but some historians have placed the minimum death toll between six and eleven thousand men; whereas other postwar Allied reports have tabulated that only 54,000 of the 72,000 prisoners reached their destination---taken together, the figures document a casual killing rate of one in four up to two in seven (25% to 28.6%) of those brutalized by the forcible march. The number of deaths that took place in the internment camps from delayed effects of the march is uncertain, but believed to be high.

Was the Bataan death march a cause of the atomic bombing?

As terrible as it was, we really don't cite the Bataan death march as a cause for the dropping of the atomic bomb. The generally accepted rationale for the dropping of the atomic bomb was to avoid what would have doubtless been the bloody battle that would follow the landing of US troops on the Japanese mainland. The Imperial Army was fanatical, and would fight to the death. American troops would have died along with them, and many civilians, too. Yes, casualties were high owing to the nuclear bombing, but few believe that there wouldn't be more casualties if the landings had come off.

How many survivors of the Bataan Death march were African Americans?

I would suspect very few if any where even in the march. The USA, England, Australia had very few blacks in the service at the time. The USA didn't really consider blacks iin the military until after the start of WW2 and the other two had close to none. The death march occured just after the attack on Pearl Harbor so it was very early in the war

American; no. Philippine possibly. All the female nurses were Philippine and were Army employees. There was a civilian element of the Death March and it is most certain they would have been forced to march north in that group.

Site of death march?

There were many during the war. The most famous, from an American perspective, is probably the Bataan Death March, which happened in 1942 in the Philippines. Japanese soldiers forced captured American and Filipino soldiers to march 80 miles from Bataan to a prisoner camp, and hundreds (maybe even thousands) of these prisoners died due to ill treatment during the march.There were also others. For example, as the Soviets started "liberating" German occupied zones in eastern Europe, the Germans would force concentration camp prisoners to go on death marches to camps closer to Germany. The Japanese also had somewhat similar marches (besides the Bataan one). Even those who fought against the Axis Powers were not above having them- notably, in Brno, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), thousands of Germans were forced to leave because the Czechs were upset at what the Nazis had done to them during the war.
