Answer:

Japanese broke through American defensive lines on the Bataan Peninsula, which led to the surrender of the US forces

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bataan Death March occurred in 1942, when 70,000 American and Filipino prisoners captured by the Japanese were forced to march 63 miles in tropical heat with little food or water, as well as killing and torturing them the entire way. About 7,000 to 10,000 people died.
