MODERN OLYMPICS IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY In the late 19th century, the French baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) vigorously revived the plays as the first modern Olympics in 1896. The number of these games made in Athens was rather limited. Then it was organized in Paris in 1900, in St. Louis (USA) in 1904. The 1908 London Olympics were problematic because of British administrators. The games in Stockholm in 1912 were played in a perfectly smooth way. With the influence of the First World War, the 1916 Berlin Olympics were canceled. During the Olympic Games held in Antwerp, Belgium, which was destroyed during the First World War in 1920, sportsmen from 29 countries gathered. In the 1924 Paris games 1500 and 5000 meters footrace, Olympic records were broken. Meanwhile, the winter Olympics began to be organized separately. For this, 300 sporter from 16 countries competed in France-Chamonix. In the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1932, only 1,500 sporter from 37 countries could participate because of the financial difficulties of the Great Depression and the difficulties of the long journey. The 1936 Olympics were held in Berlin on the verge of World War II.

Apart from some of the surviving mansions, Moda, who had been following the apartment building process since 1950, lost many historical buildings in this period in order to keep up with the times. Despite all this blood loss, Moda is at the forefront of places that poets, writers, artists, politicians and intellectuals still prefer, as well as the inhabitants of the neighborhood, who are still trying to outrun their deeply rooted past.
