So, this is a single military event that happened in the 1930s between Japan and China and it isn't mentioned in certain high-school history books. That last part is not as helpful as it looks, since in my textbook there was barely anything about the Second Sino-Japanese war until Perl Harbor (4 years into the war.)

Anyway, is it the Battle of Shanghai?

That synopsis looks correct.

It was not the battle of Shanghai.

It was related to this, there's something a bit more specific I'm looking for.

Nope

Was it the Rape of Nanjing?

I believe NRDL asked if it was the Massacre of Nanking - which I think are just two names for the same thing. Nope.

The Mukden Incident?

You got it!
Congrats!
