1920 Summer Olympics

Multi-Sport Games

The 1920 Summer Olympics were held in Antwerp, Belgium, chosen in part to honor a country that had suffered heavily during the First World War, following the cancellation of the 1916 Games. The Olympic flag and the Olympic Oath were introduced for the first time at these Games. Germany and its wartime allies were not invited to compete, reflecting the political aftermath of the war.
