¶ … Raid provides valuable insight into the war that was occurring in the Pacific during World War II. Too often, the conflict in the Pacific is overlooked and emphasis is placed on the conflict in Europe. While it is an integral part of American history, the conflict between the United States and Japan focuses on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Great Raid provides the audience with an opportunity to see how the United States retaliated against the Japanese after Pearl Harbor was bombed and the consequences of taking on the Japanese army. Furthermore, The Great Raid provides insight into the collaboration between United States Armed Forces and Filipino armed forces and the control that Japan had on the Philippines. The film is accurate in depicting the horrors that American POWs had to endure while in the hands of the Japanese. The film depicts several instances where the Imperial Japanese Army overreached their authority and killed...
There are several instances in which the film depicts these horrors. For instance, at the beginning of the film, the introductory sequence is narrated to provide a historical background into what led American troops to invade and liberate the POW camp at Cabanatuan. Among the atrocities that the film opens with is the Bataan Death March; the Bataan Death March resulted in the deaths of thousands of American and Filipino POWs as they were forced to march over 80 miles from one prisoner camp to another. The footage of the Bataan Death March is especially haunting because it appears to be footage and photographs that were taken at the time of the march in the 1940s. A second example of the mistreatment of POWs that is depicted is unnecessary and brutal massacre of POWs by the Japanese during which POWs were forced into covered trenches and then set on fire. These two horrific events help to set up the argument that POWs at Cabanatuan needed to be rescued immediately or suffer the same tragic fate -- it later shown that the POWs at Cabanatuan were indeed fated for the same end, however their rescue was carried out before the Japanese had a chance to go through with the massacre.

Instead, while under false arrest and retreating from the Macedonians, Darius was killed by one of his subjects. Because the battle at Gaugamela marked the turning point in the battle between the Macedonians and the Achaemenids, it is clear that if Darius was to have been able to defeat Alexander and his troops, he would have needed to do so before the battle at Gaugamela. Therefore, it is important to
