The Bataan Death March began in April 1942 after the surrender of approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops to the Japanese forces. These soldiers were forced to march over 60 miles under brutal conditions, leading to significant suffering and a high death toll among the prisoners. The event became a symbol of the harsh treatment faced by POWs during World War II and highlighted the dire circumstances of the Philippines during the Japanese occupation.
