Answer 1

American and Filipino troops retreated to Bataan.

Answer 2

• American and Filipino troops retreated to Bataan.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point when the city of Manila was involved by the Japanese on January 2, 1942, General Douglas MacArthur, who was the president of the Filipino and the U.S. powers, withdrew with his troops to the Bataan Peninsula, where they battled for a quarter of a year, at last surrendering to the Japanese on April 9, 1942.

General MacArthur got away to Corregidor Island and afterward to Australia, yet the a huge number of American and Filipino officers that were caught by the Japanese were compelled to leave on the Bataan Death March to a prison camp.
