The Battle of Shanghai (August-November 1937)
The Battle of Shanghai represented the first major urban confrontation of the war. Chinese forces mounted a determined defense of the city, one of China's economic centers, against Japanese naval and air bombardment. The battle lasted over three months, resulting in an estimated 250,000 casualties. Despite initial Chinese resistance, superior Japanese air power and artillery eventually overwhelmed Chinese defenses, and Shanghai fell in November 1937.[^4]
