During World War II, approximately 140,000 Allied soldiers were captured by Japanese forces. This included significant numbers from the United States, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and other Allied nations. Many of these soldiers endured harsh conditions in prisoner-of-war camps, facing malnutrition, forced labor, and abuse.
