July 7, 1937 Sino-Japanese War

July 7, 1937 the Japanese shelled the Marco Polo Bridge (Lugouqiao) between Manchuria and China, marking the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Followed the events of World War II, the German invaded Poland on September 1, 1939.

Those events seems too far away from the United States. On July 7, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt attended an All-Star game and he threw out the first pitch at Griffith Stadium.  - he becomes the first President to attend an All-Star game. The War seems not close to home YET.
