In the face of advancing Japanese troops during

Douglas MacArthur abandoned Manila and retreated

MacArthur's 
departure 
for 
Australia, the surviving defenders surrendered when 
they became convinced that no outside help would 
arrive. What followed became known as the Bataan 
Death March. The Japanese led 55,000 American and 
Filipino prisoners on a brutal six - day, 120-mile trek 
to a prison in the Pampanga Province. Each day on 
the way ended with the slaughter of all prisoners too 
ill to continue. More than half the captives died in 
this way and another 25% perished in the camp 
before the war ended.
