The Battle of Bataan was fought January 7 to April 9, 1942, during World War II.

It represented the most intensive phase of Japan's invasion of the Philippines. The Japanese bombing of the Philippines Archipelago started after the bombing of the American naval base at Pearl Harbor.

The Filipino and American forced managed to fight the Japanese for three months but they surrendered in the end. This surrender was the largest in American and Filipino military histories and it was the largest United States surrender since the American Civil War Battle of Harper's Ferry. This battle disrupted and slowed the Japanese invasion in the Pacific and prevented the invasion of Australia.

15,000 Americans were taken prisoners of war. They were forced into the Bataan Death March, which was a forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army to a Camp O'Donnell. It was a 100-mile-walk characterized by several physical abuse and killings and it is now considered a Japanese war crime. 500 to 650 estimated Americans died during that march.
