On the Chinese Revolution map as “Marco Polo Bridge”
7 Jul 1937 — A night exercise, a missing soldier, an exchange of fire at the Lugou bridge southwest of Beiping — the local incident neither government quite chooses becomes eight years of war. This time Chiang does not back down: “the limits of endurance have been reached.”
