The Asian Games, also known as Asiad, is a Pancontinental
multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all
over Asia
Before the Asian Games were held, there was a gathering
known as the Far Eastern Games which was first mooted in
1912 between Empire of Japan, the Philippine Islands and
China.
The first Games were then held in Manila in 1913 and ten
further gatherings were held until 1934 and were participated
in by six countries including the Philippines, Thailand, China,
Japan, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
The second time they were held, the name of the games was
changed to the Far Eastern Championship Games
HISTORY
1934, ten Games had been held bi-annually, in Japan, China and
the Philippines.
However, against the backdrop of the second Sino-Japanese
War in 1934, in the face of Japan's insistence on including
Manchu Empire as competitor nation in the Games, China
announced its withdrawal from participation.
For the 11th Games, they were renamed the Oriental
Championships and scheduled to be held in Osaka, Japan
The Games scheduled for 1938 were cancelled due to the
Second World War and the organization was discontinued
thereafter.
HISTORY
From 1913 to 1934, 10 Far East Championships were held in
Asia, but the championships stopped because of the outbreak of
World War II.
