    In fact, the origins of the Olympics are closely related to the social situation in the ancient Greek Republic. In the 9th-8th centuries BC, the clan society of the Hellenistic Republic gradually collapsed, and the slave society of the city-state system gradually took shape, and more than 200 city-states were established. The city-states were independent, there was no unified monarch, and there were constant wars between the city-states.

    In order to cope with the war, the city-states actively trained their soldiers. Children in the Spartan city-state were raised by the state from the age of 7 and were engaged in sports, military training, and military life. War needs soldiers, soldiers need to be physically strong, and sports are a powerful means of cultivating soldiers who can fight well.

    The war promoted sports in the Hellenic Republic, and the events of the ancient Olympic Games also bear a clear military imprint. The incessant fighting has disgusted the people and there is a general desire for a peaceful environment in which to recuperate. Later, the kings of Sparta and Elise signed the treaty of the "Holy Truce Month".

    As a result, military training and sports competitions in preparation for the army gradually turned into a sports meeting for peace and friendship.

    The ancient Olympic Games were regular athletic events held in honor of Zeus. The ancient Olympic Games were a sporting and religious celebration. From 776 BC to 393 AD it was held in the ancient Greek city of Olympia, where 292 ancient Olympiads were held.

    The emergence of the ancient Olympic Games was closely related to the politics, economy, culture and religion of Greek society at that time. In slave Greece, where wars continued for many years, in order to win, each city-state used physical training to train strong warriors, and sports developed under this circumstance, gradually forming organized sports competitions, laying the foundation for the emergence of the Olympic Games.

    The ancient Greeks believed in polytheism, and during major festivals, the city-states held grand religious gatherings to pay homage to the gods through singing, dancing and athletics. The ancient Greeks believed that the god Zeus was the head of the gods, so they revered him and sacrificed him with great ceremonies, which promoted the creation of the Olympic Games.

    The people of ancient Greece were disgusted with the continuous wars of the city-states, longed for peace, and hoped to implement a truce in the name of God during the Olympic Games, so as to achieve the goal of reducing wars and getting rid of disasters.

    It can be seen that the Olympic Games were produced in the context of war and in the form of rituals, but it also expressed the people's good wishes for peace, and this contradictory and mutually restrictive relationship made the Olympic Games produce and continue.

    The modern Olympic Games are the inevitable product of the development of modern capitalism, and also the inevitable result of the widespread implementation of modern sports ideas in Europe and the United States after its formation.

    The modern Olympic Games have been profoundly influenced by the ancient Olympic Games, but it is no longer a competition to worship the gods, but a truly international sports competition. It was coined in 1896 by the late French educator Pierre de Coubertin, "Peace, Friendship, Progress", and Coubertin proposed the spirit of the Olympic Games: a sporting event that is not for profit.

    The emergence of the modern Olympic Games is an important milestone in the history of sports competition, which marks the beginning of a new era for sports.
