Discuss how the political atmosphere in England after World War II affected the 1948 London Olympiad.
What will be an ideal response?
The political atmosphere in post-World War II England revolved around several critical issues that affected the entire global community. Considerable attention by the London Times during July 1948 was focused on the Berlin blockade by the Soviets and the formulation and implementation of the state of West Germany. International relations were strained almost to breaking point between the four nations that governed Berlin; Britain, France, and the United States were not going to turn West Berlin over to the Communists. The new country of Israel sent a delegation to London with the intent of competing in the Olympics. On learning of the wishes of the Israelis, the Arab countries made it clear to IOC officials that if the team from Israel were allowed to compete, the Arabs would boycott the games. In what would become an almost routine occurrence during the Summer Olympics, the London Olympiad was marked by the threat of a boycott.
