Answer:
The correct answer is B. This quote explains the reason for the atrocities of Japan's Bataan Death March, in which American and Filipino prisoners were tortured and killed while being conducted to a prisoners camp.
Explanation:
The Bataan Death March was an event in which American and Filipino prisoners of war marched from Bataan to the Japanese concentration camp on the island of Luzon, Philippines, in 1942. It was one of the first war crimes of World War II.
During this march, between 7,000 and 10,000 prisoners died from various diseases, malnutrition and ill-treatment. The exact number of the victims is not known, as many of the prisoners escaped on the march. The ill-treatment continued at O’Donnell Camp and later Cabanatuan. The American prisoners were gradually displaced to the camps in Korea, Japan and Manchuria, and the Philippine troops were pardoned and released on June 6, 1942.
