The Bataan March, also known as the Death March, got its name from the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines, where the event took place during World War II. After the Japanese captured American and Filipino forces in April 1942, they forced thousands of prisoners to march approximately 65 miles under harsh conditions to a prison camp. The name reflects the location and the tragic nature of the march, which resulted in significant suffering and death among the soldiers.
