During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II, more than half of Butuan, if not all of it, was burned when local guerrilla forces attacked the enemy garrison on 12 March 1943 in the Battle of Butuan. On January 17, 1945, guerrillas attacked Japanese troops on the road between Cabadbaran and Butuan to prevent the Japanese garrison at Butuan from being reinforced. When the guerrillas depleted their supplies they were forced to retreat. Sooner in 1945, the Philippine Commonwealth troops in Butuan together with the recognized guerrillas attacked the Japanese forces during the Battle of Agusan. On October 20 1948, still recovering from the war, the entire municipality was ruined by fires.[1]More than half of Butuan, if not all of it, was burned when local guerrilla forces attacked the enemy garrison on March 12, 1943, in the Battle of Butuan.

Regarding the Battle of Butuan, while the Japanese eventually prevailed, the American and Filipino forces fought fiercely and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese before withdrawing. Additionally, while the battle did not halt the Japanese advance, it did slow it down and provided valuable insights as to the capabilities of the Japanese forces.[2]
By 1945, the battle would come to an end with the United States Navy intervening in Cagayan De Oro and the city of Butuan. [2]
In the post war era, Butuan eventually gains cityhood and built monuments.
