What was the Bataan Death March a long march on which prisoners of war were sent after every battle a march that the Chinese took after Japan invaded Manchuria a torturous long march of thousands of A?

The Bataan Death March was a forced transfer of approximately 75,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war by the Japanese army in April 1942, following the surrender of Bataan during World War II. The prisoners endured a grueling march of around 65 miles under harsh conditions, facing physical abuse, starvation, and inadequate water. Many did not survive the journey, making it a tragic symbol of the brutality faced by POWs during the war.


Why did Death March in Bataan happen?

Good question. The Americans had retreated to the southern tip of Bataan before they surrendered. The Japenese didn't have trucks or trains to transport the prisoners back up to Manilia area where there was a good port (or didn't want to spend the assets to do so). The Japanese did not have sufficient food supplies and they knew that would be a problem. They forced the Americans to march the long route anyway and many died or fell out of line and were executed. It should not have happened if they Japanese had complied with the Geneva Convention for the treatment of prisoners of war.


What is another word for a long march?
