Second, the events in the early Olympic Games also reflected the relationship between war and the development of the ancient Olympic Games. Starting in 776 AD and lasting for 500 years, the Olympic Games gradually expanded, developing from a single race to a comprehensive sports event with wrestling, melee, boxing, four-horse chariot, carriage racing, wrestling, horse racing, pentathlon, etc. , these events are mostly related to military skills, reflecting the driving role of war in the development of Olympic events. Although the events of the ancient Olympic Games had obvious military imprints, the Olympic Games themselves were a grand gathering of the entire Greek nation. Although conflicts between city-states often occur, the connections between them are also very close. Especially since the 8th century BC, with the rise of the ancient Greek colonial movement, a Greek civilization circle has been formed in the Mediterranean region.
Third, the religious customs of ancient Greece and the formation of the Olympic Games model.
The Ancient Olympic Games was a Pan-Greek religious celebration with the following three characteristics: first, the worship of the gods on Mount Olympus; second, a unique sacrificial system; third, rich Religious myths and legends.
Fourth, the rise and fall of the ancient Olympic Games.

The second stage (6th century BC ---- 4th century BC) was the heyday of slavery in ancient Greek city-states, and the ancient Olympic Games reached its peak. The third stage (4th century BC - 4th century AD) ancient Greece was conquered by the Macedonian and Roman empires, and the ancient Olympic Games entered a period of decline.
Two: Motives for the Olympic Movement:

One is the rapid development of competitive sports, and the other is the internationalization trend of sports. In 1881, the first international individual sports organization, the International Gymnastics Federation, was established. With the expansion of international sports exchanges, it has become an urgent need of the times to establish a comprehensive international sports exchange stage and an international sports organization to coordinate the activities of individual organizations to play a management role.
Finally in 1893, based on Coubertin's suggestion, the French Federation of Athletics Associations held an international sports conference. Discuss the revival of the Olympic Games.
The 1894 International Sports Congress opened grandly at the Sorbonne in Paris. And passed an important document - the resolution (Revival of the Olympic Games). Since the first Olympic Games will be held in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in 1896, the Greek Vikelas will be the first chairman and Coubertin will be the secretary-general. The conference stipulates which country's major city will hold the Olympic Games every four years.
