The Pacific Theatre Early Battles Against Japan

The Pacific War Begins Japan attacks Guam and the Philippines the same day as Pearl Harbor; Guam falls U.S. and Filipino forces trapped on the Bataan Peninsula; fell after three months of fighting

Bataan Death March Forced march of American and Filipino POWs Hundreds died along the way, due to starvation, disease, physical abuse, or execution Conditions at Camp O’Donnell were no better Bataan Death March: Forced march of 76,000 Filipino and American POWs by the Japanese Approximately 2,500–10,000 Filipino and 100–650 American prisoners of war died on the 80 mile march Endured physical abuse and murder at the hands of the Japanese Army

“I was questioned by a Japanese officer, who found out that I had been in a Philippine Scout Battalion. The [Japanese] hated the Scouts… Anyway, they took me outside and I was forced to watch as they buried six of my Scouts alive. They made the men dig their own graves, and then had them kneel down in a pit. The guards hit them over the head with shovels to stun them and piled earth on top.” Lt. John Spainhower
