| The 1936 Olympics are best remembered for Hitler’s failed attempt to use to prove his theories of Aryan superiority, but they are also noteworthy because they saw the introduction of the relay, in which a lighted torch is carried from Olympia to the site of the current Games. |
| Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon withdrew to protest the Israeli-led takeover of the Suez Canal, and Holland, Spain, and Switzerland boycotted to protest Soviet invasion of Hungary. |
| However, the Olympic movement was permanently scarred on the morning of September 5, when eight Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village and made their way to the dormitory of the Israeli team. |
