At the London 1948 Summer Olympics, a conversation started amongst China and the Philippines to restore the idea of the Far Eastern Games. Many of these countries sought to exhibit Asian prowess without violence. Formation Īfter World War II, several areas in Asia became sovereign states. The Far Eastern Games scheduled for 1938 were cancelled. The second Sino-Japanese War in 1934, and Japan's insistence on including the Manchu Empire as a competitor nation in the Games, brought China to announce its withdrawal from participation. There were ten Far Eastern Games held by 1934. The inaugural Far Eastern Games were held in Manila in 1913 with 6 participating nations. The Far Eastern Championship Games existed previous to the Asian Games, the former mooted in 1912 for a location set between Japan, the Philippines, and China. The Asian Para Games are held immediately following the Asian Games, but the exclusion of Asian Para Games from any Asian Games host city contract means that both events will run independently of each other. Since 2010, host cities manage both the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games, the latter an event for athletes with disabilities to compete with each other. The next games are scheduled to be held in Hangzhou, China. The most recent games was held in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia from 18 August to 2 September 2018. Forty-six nations have participated in the Games, including Israel, which was excluded from the Games altogether after Israel managed to win a silver medal (in their last participation) at the 1974 Asian Games in Iran. There have been nine nations that have hosted the Asian Games. The Games are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and are described as the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games. Since the 1982 Games, they have been organized by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), after the breakup of the Asian Games Federation. The Games were regulated by the Asian Games Federation (AGF) from the first Games in New Delhi, India, until the 1978 Games. The Asian Games, also known as Asiad, is a continental multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all over Asia. 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta- Palembang, Indonesia
