One reason as to why the Bataan Death March was significant is how cruel and unfair the soldiers were being treated by the Japanese in this march, which was resulted in gruesome deaths.
Another reason is how the american and filipino troops were being forced to march 65 miles and a lot of troops died by the Japanese brutaly treating them. This march changed or impacted the war, but it showed us the symbol of the Japanese brutality during the war.
