The Marco Polo Bridge Incident, also known as the Lugouqiao (Lugou Bridge) Incident (盧溝橋事變) or the July 7 Incident (七七事變), was a battle between the Republic of China's National Revolutionary Army and the Imperial Japanese Army, often used as the marker for the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). The Marco Polo Bridge, an eleven-arch granite bridge which gives its name to the incident, is an architecturally significant structure restored by the Kangxi Emperor (1662–1722) in 1698. == Nomenclature == The battle is known by different names. * In the West * * ''The Marco Polo Bridge Incident'' * * ''Battle of Lugou Bridge'' * In China * * ''Incident of July 7'' (七七事變/七七事变 pinyin: Qīqī Shìbiàn) * * ''Lugou Bridge Incident'' (盧溝橋事變/卢沟桥事变 Lúgōuqiáo Shìbiàn) * * ''July 7 Lugou Bridge Incident'' (七七盧溝橋事變/七七卢沟桥事变 Qīqī Lúgōuqiáo Shìbiàn) * In Japan: * * * In Korea: * * ''Incident of July 7'' (칠칠사건 Chilchil sageon) * * ''Nogu Bridge Incident'' (노구교 사건 Nogugyo sageon) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marco Polo Bridge Incident」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
