Bataan Death March By Daniel Cap

Background There have been few times in history where a large group of American soldiers have been captured and tortured by their enemies One notable instance was the Bataan Death March

Preceding Events The march took place in the midst of World War II Since the United States was fighting the Axis powers in the Atlantic and the Pacific, its armies were considerably split, giving more troops to the Atlantic theatre This caused the Americans to suffer a few losses in their war against Japan and consequently led to the capture of some American soldiers

Preceding Events The Americans, led by General Douglas MacArthur, were fighting the Japanese at Bataan Peninsula After many months of fighting, the Americans were forced to surrender due to their lack of reinforcements to the Japanese Also, troops who were stationed at Corregidor, an American base, were also captured after attempting to fight off the Japanese

The Death March The American captives from Bataan and Corregidor were forced to march to concentration camps set up by the Japenese In all, the Americans had to march over 70 miles The term “death march” was soon realized after the Americans experienced horrible torture during the march

The Death March The terror that the Japanese inflicted on the Americans was unimaginable They experienced extreme fatigue, hunger, and sickness due to the Japanese's lack of provisions The soldiers who fell out of line during the march were beheaded or were just shot Other tortures included beatings, stabbings, and simply being worked to death by the Japanese

Aftermath After the march, over 10,000 Americans had died, and those who survived still had to face imprisonment in the concentration camps This outraged Americans and encouraged a victory in the Pacific for the United States

Aftermath The United States eventually claimed victory in the Pacific after long years of fighting The victory propelled the United States to its rank as the most powerful nation of the modern age and severely crippled the Japanese economy and way of life
