What are the precedents for the Tokyo Olympic Games or its postponement?
There has never been a precedent for postponing the Olympic Games before. If the Tokyo Olympic Games are postponed, it will be the first time in history, but the Olympic Games have been cancelled three times for external reasons.

1, 19 16 Berlin Olympic Games

At that time, Germany had just risen internationally, and the country was full of radical hawkish style. The Olympic Committee hopes that Germany can understand the importance of peace by hosting the Olympic Games. Germany also hopes to take this opportunity to enhance its international image and has made serious preparations for the Olympic Games.

Unfortunately, the hope of the Olympic Committee was dashed, and the German hawkish forces finally gained the upper hand and launched the First World War in 19 14. At that time, the Olympic Games had just been held for the fifth time and had not yet become a world-wide event. The participating countries are mainly European countries. At that time, the main battlefield of World War I was in Europe, and sports powers such as Britain, France and Russia were all participating in the war, so they naturally had no intention of participating in the Olympic Games. As the initiator of the war, Germany was unable to hold the Berlin Olympic Games again and had to cancel it.

2. 1940 Tokyo Olympic Games

The Olympic Games were also cancelled because of the war. At that time, Japan was dominated by militarism. They firmly believe that aggression is the only way out for Japan and are obsessed with the so-called? Greater East Asia * * * Glory Circle? Dreaming. Japan's enthusiasm for war is unprecedentedly high. Men compete to join the army and go to the battlefield, and women serve them in the rear. Such Japan will definitely not hold the Olympic Games again.

3. 1944 London Olympic Games

The reason for the cancellation of this Olympic Games is also war. Britain was an important member of the Allies during World War II, and it was also the main participating country in the European battlefield against the Axis Powers.

At that time, France had surrendered to the Axis, and Britain had to face the strong attack of the German army. From1September 1940 to 194 1 May, Germany bombed London many times, and Britain suffered tens of thousands of casualties during this period. Even by 1944, Germany was at the end of its road, World War II was coming to an end, and Britain, which was badly weakened, was no longer able to host the London Olympic Games.

These three Olympic Games were cancelled because of the war, which shows the grim situation that Japan is facing this time. I hope Japan can solve the epidemic as soon as possible and let the Tokyo Olympic Games be held as scheduled.
