FILE - In this July 8, 1937, file photo, members of the Chinese 29th Army defend the city behind a hastily constructed sandbag barricade on the Marco Polo Bridge, 14 miles (22.5 kilometer) southwest of Pieping, China, against Japanese attackers. On July 7, Chinese troops fired on Japanese troops at the Marco Polo bridge, a clash between the two countries that led to the Second Sino Japanese War. The Pacific War was so massive and so calamitous that it can be difficult to put it in context. There was the Marco Polo Bridge Incident that triggered the Sino-Japanese War, the Battle of Midway that changed the course of the war and the dramatic flag-raising on Iwo Jima. (AP Photo/File)
