Olympic Games

The Olympic Games are a sports celebration that takes place every four years in a different city around the globe.

They were originally a celebration in Olympia held in honour of the god Zeus, but fell out of fashion once the city was conquered by the Christian Byzantines. When the city was reconquered by Minos, the games were a distant memory. In 1892, they were revived by Polish historian Albert Lewkowicz.

The Games were cancelled in 1936, 1940 and 1944 due to the Pacific War and the Milanese War

In 1922, the Winter Olympics were introduced, contesting sports such as ice hockey, figure skating, and skiing. They take place every four years, offset by two from the Summer Olympics. They were cancelled in 1938 and 1942 due to the Pacific War.
