Why did Death March in Bataan happen?
Good question. The Americans had retreated to the southern tip of Bataan before they surrendered. The Japenese didn't have trucks or trains to transport the prisoners back up to Manilia area where there was a good port (or didn't want to spend the assets to do so). The Japanese did not have sufficient food supplies and they knew that would be a problem. They forced the Americans to march the long route anyway and many died or fell out of line and were executed. It should not have happened if they Japanese had complied with the Geneva Convention for the treatment of prisoners of war.

How has the bataan death march got anything to do with the atomic bombs?
It doesn't really. The Bataan Death March was one of countless examples of the senseless, cruel barbarity and savagery with which the Japanese waged war. It has become fashionable in the last twenty or thirty years to bash the US for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. Defenders of the decision point to instances of Japanese mass murder in justification, such as the Bataan Death March, Pearl Harbor, the Rape of Nanking, germ warfare, and on and on and on. This is unfortunate, because it fosters the impression that one reason US leaders decided to drop the atomic bombs was for revenge. This was definitely not the case, as there were other very excellent reasons for using the nuclear bombs to bring a swift end to the carnage. The bombs gave the Japanese an acceptable excuse to finally surrender, and saved countless thousands of lives on both sides. As far as the average American, there were very few who had any idea what an atomic bomb was, and even scientists had no grasp of the long-term effects of radiation. But the average man in the street in American was not too sorry for the Japanese lost in the atomic blasts, as they brought it on themselves.
