Marco Polo Bridge incident
Part of the Second Sino-Japanese War

The Marco Polo Bridge incident, also known as the Lugou Bridge incident[a] or the July 7 incident,[b] was a battle during July 1937 in the district of Beijing between China's National Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Japanese Army.
Since the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, there had been many small incidents along the rail line connecting Beijing with the port of Tianjin, but all had subsided. In this incident, a Japanese soldier was temporarily absent from his unit opposite Wanping, and his commander demanded the right to search the town for him. When this request was refused, units on both sides were alerted and the Chinese Army fired on the Japanese Army, albeit the missing Japanese soldier had already returned to his lines. The Marco Polo Bridge incident is generally regarded as the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Pacific theatre of World War II.[4]
