It was that time, when Baron Pierre de Coubertin campaigned for the revival of Summer Games as an international event. Coubertin thought this to be a way to bring the nations close together to compete in the sports, rather than fight in war. His urge was accepted and the Modern Summer Games were born in the year 1896.
