That is insane to think there were benefits to the Bataan Death March. The only benefit would be to the descendents of the survivors. Most of the Survivors say they wish they had never surrendered and had fought to the death because what they went through was horrendous and affected them for the rest of their lives.
first correct answer:
The Bataan Death March was the capture of 12,000 American soldiers and 54,000 Filipino soldiers were captured by the Japanese. These men were tortured, abused, and many were murdered. When word of this came to America, it lead to a new determination to win the war.
second answer w/ additional information:
When the Americans learned in 1942 of the extreme brutality that the Japanese had imposed on captured Allied military & civilian personnel (in the Philippines, from Wake Island, from the Doolittle Raid, in the Dutch East Indies, and in the British territories of Hong Kong and South Asia), the nation became grimly determined to wage a fierce "no holds-barred" war against the Japanese. Among all the Allies, deep hatred of the Japanese soon replaced the fatalistic fear that was evidenced in December 1941-February 1942. This was similar to the way the war of annihilation was fought between the Germans & the Soviets.
