The Olympic Games may be the world's greatest competition, but they also serve as a way to bring the world together in the particular sports that athletes love and engage in. Athletes work hard to compete with the best of the best. The Olympic Games are undoubtedly special, but there is one that has forever changed the games of the future. The 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany were a turning point for future games in many ways, sparking new traditions and showing the world that Nazi Germany wasn't so bad after all. It all sounds great, but the Nazis had staged it all. They wanted to use these games to their advantage and to prove that their way was the best. Nazi Germany's goal was to get the world on their side and show them that they could be peaceful, what better place for that than the 1936 Olympics. World War I had just ended and Germany had isolated itself and Nazi Germany wanted not only their power back, but more. The 1936 Olympics were approaching and Nazi Germany decided that hosting the games would be a great way to return to power. They decided to bid to host the games and won over Barcelona, ​​Spain. Adolph Hitler became chancellor and ruled Nazi Germany as a dictatorship. Hitler wanted to ensure that his Nazi Party and racial supremacy were promoted during the games. Hitler had written the official documents for the Olympics and wanted to ensure that Jews and blacks could not participate in the Berlin Games. This did not go well with Hitler as the Amateur Athletic Union was planning to boycott this decision and later agreed to let them participate. Now, since Hitler had a peace plan, he decided to let Helene Mayer participate in his fencing team. Mayer was known as Misc...... middle of paper ......nt to general visitors, especially big businessmen. Hiter had many ideas on how to take control and one idea included hosting all the Olympic Games for the end times. Here is an actual quote from the conversation Hitler had with Albert Speer in the spring of 1937: “In 1940 the Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo. But then they will take place in Germany forever, in this stadium." Clearly, this never happened as Germany has only hosted two Olympic Games. In conclusion, Nazi Germany had a great plan on how to get back with the rest of the world and they executed it very well. They were able to fool everyone into thinking they weren't as racist, controlling, and inhumane as everyone thought they were. By getting the nations on their side they thought they could control everything, but it's all pretty convoluted.
