Answer:
D. Many Palestinians became refugees living in camps in Syria and Lebanon.
Explanation:
The United Nations passed a resolution calling for the creation of two states in the former British Mandate of Palestine, one Arab state and a Jewish state. The Arabs rejected the resolution but the Jews accepted it and proclaimed the state of Israel in May 1948. Refusing to accept Israel´s existence, Arab armies from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan attacked the state of Israel. The Israelis prevailed and defeated all their enemies. It was the First Arab-Israeli War.
Israelis call it the War of Independence and the Palestinians call it the Catastrophe or Nakba. Millions of Palestinians were displaced and had to run to neighboring countries, living for decades in refugee camps. They have never been able to return to their old homes.
After the April 9, 1942, U.S. surrender of the Bataan Peninsula on the main Philippine island of Luzon to the Japanese during World War II (1939-45), the approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops on Bataan were forced to make an arduous 65-mile march to prison camps.

The Scramble for Africa refers to the period between roughly 1884 and 1914, when the European colonisers partitioned the – up to that point – largely unexplored African continent into protectorates, colonies and ‘free-trade areas’. At the time the colonisers had limited knowledge of local conditions and their primary consideration was to avoid conflict among themselves for African soil. Since no one could foresee the short-lived colonial era, the border design – which endured the wave of independence in the 1960s – had sizable long-lasting economic and political consequences. The Scramble for Africa resulted in several large countries characterised by highly heterogeneous geography and ethnically fragmented populations that limit the ability of governments to broadcast power and build state capacity.
