A Glimpse of the Formation and History of Modern International Sports Events

By means of literature review and logical analysis,the author has studied the developing period from early 20th century until the 70's of the modern times of international sports events and noted that this period should be the peak time for the formation and development of various international sports events.However,with the passage of time,only very few of many international sports events have survived in their developing process.The reasons are mainly due to the Industrial Revolution,Reformation,the two world wars and the differences in cultures.It is therefore pointed out that the problems plaguing the development of international sports events can be solved by conforming to the trend of the times,paying attention to cultural integration and dealing properly with the relationship between sports and politics.
