Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three nations: Japan, the Philippines and China. The first

games were held in Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations participated after it was organized.

After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the new independent Asian

countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian dominance should not be shown by violence and

should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the 14
