On December 8, 1941, as the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, they were simultaneously attacking other Allied positions around Asia.
One of the biggest attacks was on Manila in the Philippines and the Filipino and American forces that were entrenched on the Bataan Peninsula.
Filipino and American forces ended up surrendering, which began one of the most brutal and horrifying episodes of the entire war.
Learn more about the Bataan Death March and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
