History of Asian Games
The Ancient period was the Asian Games’ first experience in a ranking sport, with the East having previously considered determining a position between Japan, the Philippines and China in 1912. The initial Eastern Games were held in Manila in 1913 with 6 participating nations. By 1934, dozens of Far Eastern Games had been organized. Participation from China was announced in 1934 due to the Second Sino-Japanese War and Japan’s insistence on including the Manchu Empire as competing nations in the games. The 1938 Far Eastern Games were cancelled. The organization was closed down.
