When manila was surrounded by the japanese, the refugees fled to a. pearl harbor c. china b. bataan d. the united states

The right answer is b. Bataan. In an event known as Bataan Death March, by early January, the American and Filipino defenders were forced to retreat to a slim defensive position on the island’s western Bataan Peninsula. The American and Filipino forces fought from an untenable position until formally surrendering to the Japanese on April 9. On April 10, the Japanese gathered some twelve thousand captured American troops along with sixty-six thousand Filipinos and forced them to march sixty-five miles in six days up to the Bataan peninsula. Already underfed, ravaged by tropical diseases, and provided with little food and water, the prisoners of war were brutalized in what came to be known as the Bataan Death March.

B. Bataan is the correct answer
