The Battle of Bataan (1942) was part of Japan's invasion of the Philippines during World War II. The capture of the Philippine Islands was important to Japan's goals. The siege of Bataan was the first major land battle for the Americans in World War II and one of the most-devastating military defeats in American history. The force on Bataan, numbering some 76,000 Filipino and American troops, is the largest army under American command ever to surrender.
