The Japanese captured a large group of Americans early in the war on the southern tip of the Philippine island. They had to transport them to prison camps and to a naval port but they lacked sufficient transportation, food or medical supplies. This resulted in the cruel conduct against the Americans. Also, many of the Japanese did not respect Americans and viewed them as low-class people.

In 1942, soon after Japan's attack on America and other nations, the Bataan Death March took place in the Philippines. The suffering which it caused was due to several complementary factors: the weakened state of the Allied prisoners involved, the contempt shown towards those prisoners by the Japanese troops and officers, and the lack of medical and food resources on hand (since the Japanese were thoroughly surprised by the number of prisoners which they bagged in the fighting).
