The events that led to the 1937 Japan and Chinese War include the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japanese occupation of Manchuria, and continued Japanese aggression towards China.

I apologize for the confusion. The events that primarily led to the 1937 Japan and Chinese War are the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, where a clash between Japanese and Chinese troops escalated into a full-scale conflict, and the subsequent Japanese invasion of China.
