The United States responded to Japanese aggression in the Philippines during World War II by mobilizing military forces to defend the archipelago. After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, U.S. and Filipino troops fought to resist Japanese advances but were ultimately overwhelmed. The fall of Bataan in April 1942 and the subsequent Bataan Death March highlighted the dire situation, leading to increased American military efforts in the Pacific. The U.S. later launched a campaign to retake the Philippines, culminating in the successful liberation of the islands in 1945.
