#OTD in 1937, the #MarcoPoloBridge Incident took place. Elements of the #ImperialJapaneseArmy staged an attack on the rail lines here, creating a convenient excuse to engage China in what would become the Second #Sino-JapaneseWar. Sometimes considered the beginning of the Pacific War.

Good stuff here. If you’re on Guam, check it out.

Kabayama Sukenori 樺山 資紀 was the second person to head the #NavyMinistry. Born in 1837, he joined the new #ImperialJapaneseArmy in 1871 as a Major, a credit to his previous combat experience in the #BoshinWar. He was head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police from 1881 to 1882. 1/4

Yūgumo took part in the battles of #Midway and #SantaCruz. She was tasked with evacuating #ImperialJapaneseArmy troops from #Kiska in the #Aleutians in July 1943 and later that year was again evacuating #IJA troops, this time from the #Solomons. 2/3

The #ImperialJapaneseArmy and Navy never came to an agreement on whose responsibility it was to defend the homeland, and so most of these bombing flights went unopposed; this may be one of the more sorrowful chapters in the history of this war which saw almost 900,000 killed.
