The Bataan Death March involved approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops who were captured by Japanese forces during World War II after the fall of the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines in April 1942. The march was forced upon them as the Japanese sought to move the prisoners to a prison camp, covering around 65 miles under brutal conditions. Many suffered from extreme heat, starvation, and violence, leading to thousands of deaths along the way. The event is remembered as a significant atrocity of the war and a symbol of the hardships faced by soldiers in the Pacific Theater.
