Olympic Games in Antwerp

The **Olympic Games in Antwerp** took place in 1920 and were the sixth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

After the 1916 games were cancelled due to World War 1, the bidding process resumed for the 1920 event. Despite other bids from the United States, the committee preferred Antwerp as long as they were able to in the aftermath of the war. The only other pre war bids were already withdrawn in support of Antwerp, or in the case of Budapest were banned from the Games entirely as an antagonist country out of the war alongside Germany, Bulgaria and Austria.
Year without a Summer

The **Year without a Summer** described a season in 1816 when the temperature throughout the northern Summer was lower than usual.

## Background

It is generally accepted that this event was primarily caused by the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies (known today as Indonesia). This eruption was the biggest in human history, even bigger than the Krakatoa Eruption and left a large amount of debris in the Earth's atmosphere.
Olympic Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo

The **Olympic Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo** took place in 1956 and were the seventh modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

The vote for these Games was held in 1949. Cortina had previously been awarded the 1944 Games before World War 2 intervened and they had a failed bid for the 1952 Games. On this occasion Cortina won the vote easily in the first round over Montreal, Colorado Springs and Lake Placid.
Olympic Games in Mexico City

The **Olympic Games in Mexico City** took place in 1968 and were the sixteenth modern Summer Olympic Games and only the third to be held on the continent of North America as well as the fifth outside of Europe.

## Background

The decision as to who would host these Games was made in 1963, with Mexico City having the winning bid without a count-back being required as was the case in 1964. The other cities to bid were Detroit, Lyon and Buenos Aires.
Olympic Games in Lillehammer

The **Olympic Games in Lillehammer** took place in 1994 and were the seventeenth modern Winter Olympic Games and the first to be held in the year half way between two Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

The decision to host these Games was made in 1988, with Lillehammer competing with Sofia, Ostersund in Sweden and Anchorage. The voting was relatively close, coming down to the two Nordic representatives with Lillehammer winning the Games by just six votes. These Games would be held in the closest ever location to the Arctic Circle.
Olympic Games in Lake Placid 1

The first **Olympic Games in Lake Placid** took place in 1932 and were the third modern Winter Olympic Games and the first to be held outside Europe.

## Background

It is unclear how exactly Lake Placed was chosen to host these Games as the only apparent competition was from the state of California and the final decision that was made seems to have no clear process.

Hurricane Maria

**Hurricane Maria** was a devastating cyclonic storm that smashed Puerto Rico in 2017.

## Background

Maria originated as a tropical depression that approached Barbados in mid September, 2017. High humidity, warm surface sea temperatures and a wind shear allowed it to develop into a tropical storm whereupon it was named Maria. Moving north west it missed Barbados but in the space of 24 hours it leapt from a category 1 hurricane to a category 5.
Hoddle Street Massacre

The **Hoddle Street Massacre** was a mass shooting that took place in Hoddle Street in the Melbourne suburb of Clifton Hill in 1987.

## Background

The massacre itself had no precursor. The perpetrator, Julian Knight, was a failed military cadet who had been discharged from the Royal Military College in Canberra after just over six months there. The trigger for the dismissal was an involvement in a fight and stabbing at a bar resulting from a confrontation with a superior officer. Knight returned to Melbourne just 16 days before the night of the massacre.

Black Tuesday Fires

The **Black Tuesday Fires** represent a group of bushfires that took place in February 1967 and took 62 lives, the most in the Australian state of Tasmania in history.

## Background

The late winter and early spring of 1966 had been quite wet in the South East of Tasmania. This caused a large amount of vegetation growth by November. But that month that state began its driest period (lasting a total of eight months) in over 80 years. By the end of January 1967 the growth of the vegetation in the area had dried off. January had been a cool month, but February started in a much hotter manner.
Black Friday Fires

The **Black Friday Fires** represent a group of bushfires that took place in January 1939 and took 71 lives, the most in the Australia due to a bushfire until 1983.

## Background

The summer of 1938 and 1939 was preceded by a very dry six month period. In the days leading up to Black Friday the top temperature in the city of Melbourne reaching 43.8 degrees Celsius on January 8 and 44.7 degrees Celsius on January 10. Bushfires had already broken out in several locations. A temperature of 24.5 Celsius on January 9, 24.4 Celsius on January 11 and 25.5 Celsius on January 12 failed to assist as there was no rain.
American Civil War

The **American Civil War** was a war that divided America over slavery and lasted from 1861 to 1865.

## Background

Historians over the years have argued over the exact cause of the Civil War, but one consensus rises above all others and that was the issue of slavery. Southern states insisted on the right to use black slaves, in particular in their cotton fields as a means of saving money. Northern states had already banned slavery of any description outright and were seeking to pressure southern states to follow suit. A related issue, although it was never raised as a recruitment point for either side, was tariffs between states. Southern states wanted free trade and argued that slavery allowed this whereas paid labor hence the need for tariffs did not. A key trigger for the war was the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency, who opposed slavery passionately.
Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

The **Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen** took place in 1936 and were the fourth modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

As with the previous years there was no clear indication as to how Garmisch-Partenkirchen came to host these Games, although it may be that the location was up to the hosts of the Summer Olympics that year. However this would be the last year that this would be the case.
Olympic Games in Calgary

The **Olympic Games in Calgary** took place in 1988 and were the fifteenth modern Winter Olympic Games and the fifth held outside of Europe.

## Background

After a number of attempts, Canada finally won the right to host the Winter Olympics when Calgary won the vote ahead of Falun in Sweden and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy rather comfortably in the end.
Olympic Games in Pyeongchang

The **Olympic Games in Pyeongchang** took place in 2018 and were the twenty-third modern Winter Olympic Games, the ninth held outside of Europe and the third held in Asia.

## Background

After missing out on the 2014 Games, Pyeongchang went to work on gaining the games in 2018. The decision was made in 2011 with competition coming from Munich (who if successful would have been the first city to host both the Winter and Summer Games) and Annecy in France. However the South Korea city won the vote easily.
Olympic Games in Melbourne

The **Olympic Games in Melbourne** took place in 1956 and were the thirteenth modern Summer Olympic Games and the first to be held in the Southern Hemisphere as well as only the third to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

Melbourne were awarded these Games in 1949. The voting was very close between them and Buenos Aires, but there were no European candidates for the first time. The other candidates were all from the continent of North America, including yet another slew of American candidates along with Mexico City and Montreal.
Olympic Games in Squaw Valley

The **Olympic Games in Squaw Valley** took place in 1960 and were the eighth modern Winter Olympic Games and only the second to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

Squaw Valley, a ski resort in northern California, was a surprise bidder for these Games and managed to win the vote just ahead of Innsbruck. IOC President Avery Brundage though made this a provisional award, and told the organising committee they needed more money - or the Games would be awarded to Innsbruck. The Californian State government obliged just in time and the Games were confirmed for Squaw Valley.
Mount Pelée eruption

The **Mount Pelée eruption** was a volcanic eruption that took place in 1902 and is the worst in the world in the 20th century.

## Background

Martinique is located on the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc containing six notable volcanoes of which Mount Pelée is one. As early as mid 1900 there were instances of openings in the Earth's crust in the area emitting steam and gas (including Rotten Egg Gas) that turned out to be warning signs of an upcoming eruption.
Queen Street Massacre

The **Queen Street Massacre** was a mass shooting that took place in an office building in Queen Street in city of Melbourne in 1987.

## Background

Like the Hoddle Street Massacre only months earlier, this had no precursor. The perpetrator, Frank Vitkovic, the son of parents from Croatia and Italy, was a good tennis player before a knee injury curtailed his budding career. He also tried to obtain a law degree but quit earlier in 1987 due to poor grades.
Assassination of John F Kennedy

The **Assassination of John F Kennedy** was an event that garnered worldwide attention as it was caught on live television as the then President of the United States was visiting Dallas, Texas, on November 23, 1963.

## Background

Kennedy had won the Presidential election in November 1960 and assumed office in January 1961. He travelled to Dallas, Texas in November 1963 to try and smooth over differences between Texas Governor John Connally and other Democrat party members in the state, as well as lay the foundations for the 1964 Presidential election campaign. There was no proven background as to why he was assassinated.
The Great Depression

**The Great Depression** was a massive worldwide economic depression that began in the United States in 1929 and dominated the early 1930's.

## Background

There were no known reasons in the lead up to the beginning of the Great Depression, as the first known act in it - the Wall Street Crash of 1929 - is seen as both the trigger of it and a symptom of it. The latter does not appear to have an underlying cause.
Olympic Games in London 2

The second **Olympic Games in London** took place in 1948 and were the eleventh modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

In 1939 the 1944 event was awarded to London ahead of Rome, Detroit, Budapest, Lausanne, Helsinki, Montreal and Athens. The outbreak of World War 2 cancelled those Games but in 1945 at the end of the war the chairman of the English Olympic committee put in a bid to have this decision transferred to 1948. After King George VI stated the moral case for London in spite of the city's ongoing recovery from the war, it won the bid by postal vote ahead of Lausanne and a slew of American candidates. It would be only the second time a city had hosted the Games twice.
Olympic Games in Oslo

The **Olympic Games in Oslo** took place in 1952 and were the sixth modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

When London won the right to host the 1948 Summer Games they had promoted Oslo as the Winter option. Oslo declined as they weren't ready after World War 2 but they bid for the 1952 event alongside proposed 1940 hosts Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy and Lake Placid. Oslo won the bid easily in a vote in 1947 and would be the first country capital to host the Winter Games.
Olympic Games in Albertville

The **Olympic Games in Albertville** took place in 1992 and were the sixteenth modern Winter Olympic Games and the last to be held in the same calendar year as the Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

There were a record number of seven candidates seeking to host these games. In 1986, the vote was close in the early stages but as other cities were eliminated, Albertville started to come into favour and finally defeated Sofia and Falun comfortably in what was the final vote. The other candidates were Anchorage, Berchtesgaden in West Germany, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Lillehammer.
Boer War

**The Boer War** was a war that took place in South Africa from 1899 to 1902.

## Background

British occupation of the southern regions of Africa to try and unify the area was meeting various forms of resistance, leading at one point to a rebellion (known in some circles as the first Boer War) from late 1880 to early 1881. But unrest throughout the region over what was seen as British interference never subsided despite the truce signed over the rebellion which involved British oversight of local rule.
Olympic Games in Paris 2

The second **Olympic Games in Paris** took place in 1924 and were the seventh modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

Soon after the 1920 event, bids were called for to host the Games in 1924. Paris won the right to host the event for the second time - the first city to do so. The other bidding cities were Amsterdam, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Prague, and Rome.
Olympic Games in Tokyo 1

The first **Olympic Games in Tokyo** took place in 1964 and were the fifteenth modern Summer Olympic Games and the first to be held in Asia as well as the fourth to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

After failing in their first attempt to bid for the Games, Tokyo were successful in their second attempt in 1959. There were fewer candidates this time - Detroit, Vienna and Brussels. Tokyo were awarded the Games upon receiving more the fifty percent of the votes without a count-back being required.
San Francisco Earthquake

The **San Francisco Earthquake** was the most devastating earthquake in the history of the United States.

## Background

The San Andreas Fault, the main link between the North American plate and the Pacific Plate is generally regarded as one of the most volatile in the world, and certainly the best known. The section through California is seen as the most dangerous as it hugs the coast of the United States in the northern part of the state including in and around San Francisco.
Olympic Games in Salt Lake City

The **Olympic Games in Salt Lake City** took place in 2002 and were the nineteenth modern Winter Olympic Games and the seventh held outside of Europe.

## Background

After being beaten by just four votes for the previous Games, Salt Lake City bid again for these Games up against Ostersund again (seeking for a third time to host the Games), Quebec City and Sion in Switzerland. After two years of close voting, Salt Lake City won the bid easily in the first round.

Olympic Games in Beijing 2

The Winter **Olympic Games in Beijing** took place in 2022 and were the twenty-fourth modern Winter Olympic Games, the tenth held outside of Europe and the fourth held in Asia. These Games represented the first time a city had hosted both a Summer Olympics and a Winter Olympics.

## Background

The decision for these Games was made in 2015 with competition coming from Almaty in Kazakhstan and Oslo. The Oslo bid though was withdrawn as a result of a public and political backlash in Norway to allegations of IOC members demanding luxury treatment. The IOC reacted by ignoring the allegations and instead criticising Oslo for "a missed opportunity". The vote between Beijing and Almaty was close with Ebijing winning the right to host by just four votes.
Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro

The **Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro** took place in 2016 and were the twenty-eighth modern Summer Olympic Games, the third to be held in the Southern Hemisphere and the first to be held on the continent of South America.

## Background

The decision as to who would host these Games was made in 2009. There were four final candidates - Rio De Janeiro, Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago. Only the first round was close and once Chicago was eliminated Rio led the voting comfortably and maintained it in the final vote over Madrid. Doha, despite having a good rating, were forbidden from competing due to insisting that the Games take place in October - outside the IOC's time frame for the Games.
Olympic Games in London 1

The first **Olympic Games in London** took place in 1908 and were the fourth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

These Olympics were the first to have a contest for the host city. The winning bid was from Rome ahead of London, Berlin and Milan. However in 1906 Rome had to abandon their hosting commitment when Mount Vesuvius erupted causing reconstruction expenses in Naples to be required as a priority. London took their place at short notice.

## Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony was held for the first time since 1896, mainly because of the introduction of the Parade of Nations. However there were issues with it, including the Americans refusing to dip their flag to British monarch King Edward the Seventh and the Swedish flag was missing from the general flag display causing that team to refuse to participate. Also - in the first sign of politics being used, Finland refused to march behind the Russian flag due to them being seen at the time as a part of Russia as a consequence of being members of the Russian Empire that would end in 1917. The number of competing nations rose to twenty two.

## Sports

From the sports that were played in 1904, only golf and roque were dropped for these Games. Polo, rugby, sailing and shooting all returned, while hockey, rackets, water motorsport and a game called Jeu de paume appeared for the first time. A Winter sport was also included - figure skating. This however was held later in the year.

## Highlights

Some controversies occurred at these Games, leading to some standardisation of rules within the structure for the future. The main cause showed in the difference between the British athletics rules defining interference and the international rules. The British Organising Committee ran the events under the former, which led to argument over US runner John Carpenter being disqualified from the 400 metres final. A rerun was ordered without him, but it never happened as the other two Americans in the race refused to run in protest and the British runner won the gold medal.

In events where judges were needed (boxing and gymnastics for example) local judges were used, but after these Games judges from multiple countries were used instead.

The need for standard rules came up most strikingly during the marathon. In actions unheard of under the rules, officials helped Italian runner Dorando Pietri no less than five times to his feet when he fell in the stadium within sight of the finish line. He finished, but after the second place getter Johnny Hayes lodged a protest Pietri was rightly disqualified. The rules did lead to another famous marathon incident 76 years later.

American John Taylor, as a member of the US medley relay team in the pool, became the first African American to win a gold medal at these Games. Oscar Swahn of Sweden competed and won a gold medal in one of the shooting events at the age of 60 - a record for the oldest gold medallist in Olympic history.

## Closing ceremony

Due to the later Winter event, there was no closing ceremony.
Olympic Games in Munich

The **Olympic Games in Munich** took place in 1972 and were the seventeenth modern Summer Olympic Games and the first be held in Europe since 1960.

## Background

The voting to decide the hosts for this event took place in 1966 with Munich dominating the voting over Madrid, Montreal and Detroit although it took an extra vote without the American bid to get Munich over the line.
Olympic Games in St Moritz 1

The first **Olympic Games in St Moritz** took place in 1928 and were the second modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

These Games were in fact the first to take place under the separate moniker of "Winter Olympic Games" with the retrospective recognition of the Olympic Games in Chamonix. It is not known how St Moritz came to be the hosts of this event.
Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2

The second **Olympic Games in Los Angeles** took place in 1984 and were the twentieth modern Summer Olympic Games and the fifth to be held on the continent of North America as well as the seventh to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

Since the first actual contest for the right to host in 1908, there had only been one occasion when there was only one candidate - for the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. In 1978 history repeated itself for the 1984 Games as the last contender Tehran withdrew due to local political issues. As the 1904 Games were the only other time the United States had hosted the Games the country were still yet to win an actual vote for the Summer Games.
Olympic Games in Sarajevo

The **Olympic Games in Sarajevo** took place in 1984 and were the fourteenth modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

The decision for the host of these Games took place in 1978. After Gothenburg in Sweden was eliminated from the voting it was between Sarajevo and Sapporo - the latter seeking to host the Games for the second time. However by a margin of just three votes, Sarajevo won the right to host these Games.
Olympic Games in Amsterdam

The **Olympic Games in Amsterdam** took place in 1928 and were the eighth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

Amsterdam had previously bid for the Games but in 1920 withdrew in order to support Antwerp. In 1924 Paris won the bid, but Amsterdam were promised the 1928 Games - despite a bid coming in from Los Angeles who had also bid for 1924.
Olympic Games in Grenoble

The **Olympic Games in Grenoble** took place in 1968 and were the tenth modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

The awarding of these Games was delayed due to external issues in the city hosting the IOC meeting - and only the Summer Olympics in 1968 were awarded. Eventually, the vote when held came down to Grenoble and Calgary with Grenoble winning the bid by just three votes. The other cities to apply were Lahti, Sapporo, Oslo and Lake Placid.
Olympic Games in Helsinki

The **Olympic Games in Helsinki** took place in 1952 and were the twelfth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

Originally Helsinki were awarded the Games in 1940, but the outbreak of World War 2 cancelled that event and Helsinki didn't try for the 1948 event. They did bid for the 1952 event and were selected ahead of Amsterdam and another slew of American candidates.
Olympic Games in St Moritz 2

The second **Olympic Games in St Moritz** took place in 1948 and were the fifth modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

After World War 2 and the exclusion of Germany and Japan from these Games, two bids were received to host - both of whom had previously hosted them in St Moritz and Lake Placid. While both were in a fine physical condition to host, the IOC preferred St Moritz at this point due to Switzerland's neutral status during the war.
Nevado del Ruiz eruption

The **Nevado del Ruiz eruption** was a volcanic eruption that was one of the worst in the history of the continent of South America.

## Background

Nevado del Ruiz is a Colombian volcano located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. In late 1984, geologists noted that seismic activity in the region was rising. There were minor eruptions through until September 1985, but when activity decreased it appeared that there would be no major eruption. An Italian volcanological mission though issued a report in October suggesting the threat was not over.
Olympic Games in Barcelona

The **Olympic Games in Barcelona** took place in 1992 and were the twenty-second modern Summer Olympic Games and the first to be held in Europe since 1980.

## Background

After a few occasions with low candidate numbers, the IOC in 1986 were presented with six candidates. Barcelona were awarded the Games in 1992 ahead of Paris, Brisbane, Belgrade, Birmingham and Amsterdam and after the elimination of Birmingham and Amsterdam rather comfortably.
Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh

The **Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh** took place in 1986 and were the thirteenth Games and the third to be known as the Commonwealth Games. It was the second event overall to be hosted by Scotland, the fourth to be hosted by the United Kingdom and the first occasion where a city hosted the event twice.
Korean War

The **Korean War** was a war that lasted from 1950 to 1953 dividing a single country into two.

## Background

The original division of Korea into two countries was originally a by product of the Japanese surrender ending World War 2. The Soviet Union had never entered the Pacific theatre of the war, and once the European theatre was under control the Soviets declared war on Japan and used Korea as it's proposed launching pad. Realising this was happening, the treaty between Japan and the United States included Korea. A consequent agreement between Moscow and Washington before the Cold War began led to the establishment of the 38th parallel - the border between North and South Korea. It would be something that the local governments on both sides of the parallel were never happy with.
Olympic Games in Seoul

The **Olympic Games in Seoul** took place in 1988 and were the twenty-first modern Summer Olympic Games and the second to be held in Asia as well as the eighth to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

When the IOC met to decide on the location of the 1988 Games there were only two candidates, Seoul and Nagoya in Japan - meaning that for the first time there were no European or American candidates. Seoul won the vote comfortably.
Olympic Games in Los Angeles 1

The first **Olympic Games in Los Angeles** took place in 1932 and were the ninth modern Summer Olympic Games and only the second to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

In 1923 not long after Amsterdam were awarded the 1928 event, the 1932 Games were given to Los Angeles by default. This was because there was no competing bid from any other country.
Olympic Games in Nagano

The **Olympic Games in Nagano** took place in 1998 and were the eighteenth modern Winter Olympic Games, the sixth held outside of Europe and the second to held in Asia.

## Background

The decision to host these Games was made in 1990 with five cities competing. Along with Nagano, there was Salt Lake City, Aosta in Italy, Jaca in Spain and Ostersund again after the previous failed bid for the 1994 Games. The voting here was even closer, coming down to Nagano and Salt Lake City after the latter survived a run off in the first round of voting. Nagano won the right to host the Games by just four votes.
Olympic Games in Rome

The **Olympic Games in Rome** took place in 1960 and were the fourteenth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

There would be no volcanic eruption this time to stop Rome from hosting the Olympic Games after such an event forced them to pass it on in 1908. They won the bid in 1955 from Lausanne with Budapest and Brussels bidding from Europe and Detroit from the United States. Mexico City also made a failed bid (their second), as did Tokyo - the first Asian city to bid for the Games ever.
Olympic Games in Chamonix

The **Olympic Games in Chamonix** took place in 1924 and were the first modern Winter Olympic Games.

## Background

When this event took place originally, it was considered part of the Olympics in Paris and called an "International Winter Sports Week". Consequently it was retroactively recognised as the first Winter Games.
Camp Fires

The **Camp Fires** represent a major bushfire (wildfire in the United States) that took place in November 2018 and took 86 lives, the most in the United States due to a bushfire in over 100 years.

## Background

The state of California makes major efforts to predict and prevent fire events. As far back as 2005 the town of Paradise had been identified as in danger, particularly when it came to evacuation ability. The region has experienced no less than 13 fires since 1999, but the most recent had been in 2008. After that fire a grand jury made a number of recommendations including a moratorium on new homes in Paradise. But a County Board ignored that claiming improving building methods would provide adequate protection.

But laxity in maintaining efforts left the region vulnerable in late 2018. A wet northern Spring had left the region lush with grass, and the northern Fall had been devoid of rain leaving the region dry and susceptible to the low humidity coming in as well.
Olympic Games in Sydney

The **Olympic Games in Sydney** took place in 2000 and were the twenty-fourth modern Summer Olympic Games and the second to be held in the Southern Hemisphere as well as the tenth to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

The decision to host these Games were made in 1993. There were five competing cities and it came down to two in Beijing and Sydney. After the elimination of Istanbul, Berlin and Manchester it was noted that Beijing had led the voting. But after Manchester's elimination most of their votes went to Sydney to send the Games to Australia. After Beijing had shown the same sort of arrogance towards it's own people as Athens had shown to the delegates in the previous vote, Beijing chose to blame US led interference in the final vote without any proof.
World War 1

**World War 1** was a war that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and spread across large amounts of the world.

## Background

Europe had been in a state of flux since the mid 19th century with the Ottoman Empire breaking down and general issues between countries. Most of the tension was building in the Balkans, and the initial trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was visiting the Bosnian capital Sarajevo when he was killed by Serbian insurgent Gavrilo Princip. While the people didn't react, diplomats saw the issue and leaders encouraged reprisals against Serbs in Bosnia. This led to the so-called "July crisis" which began when Autria-Hungary sent a series of ten demands that they knew Serbia wouldn't accept to provoke a war. They then declared war and other European countries were telling others what to do (Germany for example told France to stay out of it) and it imploded from there.
Cyclone Ada

**Cyclone Ada** was a devastating cyclonic storm that smashed the Whitsunday Islands, Australia in 1970.

## Background

The cyclone originally formed on the Eastern edge of the Coral Sea and was initially a weak and slow moving tropical storm that remained so for a little over a fortnight. However it suddenly gained strength as it increased in pace to the point that it was given the name of Ada and the first warnings were issued to shipping.
Olympic Games in Beijing 1

The Summer **Olympic Games in Beijing** took place in 2008 and were the twenty-sixth modern Summer Olympic Games and the third to be held in Asia.

## Background

The decision for these Games was made in 2001 with five cities competing for the right to host them. Beijing won easily on the second round with the majority of the vote from Toronto, Paris, Istanbul and Osaka, gaining a sympathy vote from the vote for the bid for the 2000 Games as well as also improving aspects of their presentation much like Athens. The consensus was that China would learn about better human rights from hosting the Games.
Watergate

The **Watergate** scandal was a political scandal in the United States that resulted in the only Presidential resignation in the country's history.

## Background

After a stint as vice president to Dwight Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961, Richard Nixon contested the 1968 United States Presidential election, winning the Presidency defeating Hubert Humphrey. His first term as President appeared uneventful.
World War 2

**World War 2** was a war that lasted from 1939 to 1945 and also spread across large amounts of the world.

## Background

The development of the base of the beginning of the Second World War began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. He proceeded to make wholesale changes to the country's political system. This concerned many other countries in Europe, especially Russia. Hitler's repudiation of the Treaty of Versailles in 1935 didn't help the region's mood. A number of protection pacts were being organised, but the League of Nations were obstructive, wanting all countries to just get along.
Olympic Games in Berlin

The **Olympic Games in Berlin** took place in 1936 and were the tenth modern Summer Olympic Games.

## Background

Berlin had previously tried to win the right to host the Games, but in 1931 they saw off competition from Barcelona who were the only other city to bid. In hindsight it was a relief as in 1936 the Spanish Civil War began and the event would have been moved as it had been previously in 1908
Ash Wednesday Fires

The **Ash Wednesday Fires** represent a group of bushfires that took place in February 1983 and took 75 lives, the most in the Australia due to a bushfire until 2009.

## Background

1982 was the driest year on record in Eastern Australia to that point. The drought was severe and dated back to 1979. The fire season in Victoria began early with a fire in late November followed by others including a long standing one in the state's east around Cann River. Eight days before Ash Wednesday, Melbourne was hit with a dust storm - the likes of which never been seen before so far south or since. The whole storm rose 300 metres and covered 500 kilometres at it's peak, containing about 50,000 tonnes of topsoil from Victoria's drought ravaged north west.
Olympic Games in Atlanta

The **Olympic Games in Atlanta** took place in 1996 and were the twenty-third modern Summer Olympic Games and the sixth to be held on the continent of North America as well as the ninth to be held outside of Europe.

## Background

The decision to host these Games was taken in 1990 with another six cities bidding. Athens were seeking to host the centenary of the Games but were criticised for relying on nostalgia and history rather than ability to host. Athens and Atlanta were the last two cities in the process after elimination of Belgrade, Manchester, Melbourne and Toronto - and Atlanta won the right to host as the first successful United States bid with competition in history and the first host that was not supported financially by the host country's government.
Olympic Games in St Louis

The **Olympic Games in St Louis** took place in 1904 and were the third modern Summer Olympic Games and the first outside of Europe.

## Background

Originally scheduled for Chicago, the Games were moved to St Louis after the organiser of the World's Fair threatened to out strip the Chicago event with their own multi sport event if the move was not made. This resulted in a similar situation to that of the previous event that was also held during a World's Fair.

## Opening ceremony

There was no opening ceremony at these Games for the same reasons as 1900. The number of competing nations dropped to twelve due in part to tensions in Europe over the war between Russia and Japan. Travel was also difficult and may have contributed to the next Games not being outside Europe for some time.

## Sports

The number of sports dropped to eighteen from the Games in Paris. There was no Basque pelota, cricket, croquet, equestrian, polo, rugby union, sailing or shooting. But boxing arrived as did diving, lacrosse and roque, with weightlifting and wrestling returning.

## Highlights

Because the vast majority of the participants were from North America the vast majority of medals went there. One of the biggest highlights was the performance of American gymnast George Eyser. He won six medals including three gold, despite his left leg being a wooden one. Frank Kugler didn't win a gold medal, but represented Germany in weightlifting, wrestling and tug of war winning four minor medals. He would be the only man to do this in the history of Games - medalling in three different sports at the one event.

## Closing ceremony

There was no closing ceremony, again for the same reasons as 1900.

Hurricane David

**Hurricane David** was a devastating cyclonic storm that smashed the Dominican Republic in 1979.

## Background

The hurricane was first detected as a tropical depression within a section of generally disturbed weather, developing slowly into a tropical storm at which time it was named David. It's trajectory took it towards the Caribbean Islands on a westerly angle - fed by a high pressure ridge to the north.
Attica Fires

The **Attica Fires** represent a major bushfire (wildfire in Greece) that took place in July 2018 and took 102 lives, the most in the whole of Europe due to a bushfire possibly ever.

## Background

Europe was in the grip of a major drought and heat wave leading into the northern Summer of 2018. This left the land particularly affected vulnerable to fires. Across the continent temperature records were broken as were record in dry spells without rain.
Olympic Games in London 3

The third **Olympic Games in London** took place in 2012 and were the twenty-seventh modern Summer Olympic Games and the first to be hosted by the same city three times.

## Background

Five cities competed to host these Games and the voting took place in 2005. London competed against Paris, Madrid, New York and Moscow. The voting was very close with London defeating Paris by just four votes. London's celebrations for winning the hosting rights were subsequently curtailed just a day later by the London Transport attacks.
