Why was the city of nanjing extremely vulnerable to japanese attack?

The correct answer is B) the Chinese armed forces had been removed from the city.

The city of Nanjing was extremely vulnerable to Japanese attack because the Chinese armed forces had been removed from the city.

The Japanese were in Shangai and were heading to Nanjing. Japanese troops had defeated the Chines opposition and the Chinese Army was weak. Chiang Kai-shek decided to leave the city and was unprotected. This situation left the city vulnerable to the entry of the Japanese Army.

The other options of the question were a) the city had been barricaded by the Japanese before the attack, c) the food supply of the city had been cut off leaving the citizens in poor health, and d) the citizens were not allowed to keep any weaponry for their defense.

The city of Nanjing was extremely vulnerable to japanese Attacks because the Chinese forces were removed from the city as an effort of regrouping and relocating, because the Japanese army had taken bigger cities with bigger resistances. The Japanese army had high morals and empowered, if the would have fought a battle with sustancial resistance in Nanjing the chinse would have lost all.

Explanation:

In the first place, the Japanese Army had taken Shanghai which had a very big and substantial amount of resistance. A factor that empowered the Japanese forces, also by capturing it they controlled the resources and the flux of them. Limiting their distribution, the Japanese army controlled a very important strategic point. In the second place, Nanjing had enough Chinese forces to fight a good battle of resistance, however by being an industrial important city it represented a very big risk. If the Chinese lost their forces along with the economical power of Nanjing, they would have lost a very decisive fight that might have cost them the war or the opportunity of a comeback in another point. However, they decided to take a loss of the strategic point without performing a high scale defense, because they decided it was better to save the troops. The city reunited thousands of refugees in a safe zone with a temporary government under Japanese command and helped them survive by claiming their rights as refugees, they had many foreigners among them and they provided them a nice chance.

because other regions has other things that egypt doesnt have.
