  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

  • Exhibiting a Nation: Canada at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924–1925
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Histoire sociale / Social History (E-Journal, York University) Exhibiting a Nation: Canada at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924–1925 ANNE CLENDINNING* The British Empire Exhibition held in 1924 and 1925 presented a chance for Canada to assert a national identity and a prominent place, as a self-governing, “white” dominion, within the British imperial family of nations. Those responsible for the gov- ernment pavilion consciously sought to understate regional differences and to con- struct and project a unified, homogeneous image of the nation, despite its vast geographic distances and obvious differences of language and race. While their inten- tions were to attract investment and improve export markets for Canadian goods, the exhibition commissioners assembled a set of images intended to sum up the idea of Canada. The resulting national representation proved to be contested, fragmented, and sometimes controversial. But for Canadians who visited the exhibit, the pavilion seemed to speak on an emotional level, inspiring national identification and pride. L’Exposition de l’empire britannique de 1924 et de 1925 a permis au Canada d’affirmer son identité nationale et de se hisser au palmarès des dominions « blancs » du giron de l’Empire britannique. Les responsables du pavillon gouvernemental ont consciemment cherché à minimiser les différences régionales de même qu’à dépein- dre le Canada comme un pays homogène en dépit de son immensité géographique et de ses différences évidentes de langue et de race. Bien qu’ils cherchaient à séduire les investisseurs et à trouver des débouchés pour les produits canadiens à l’exportation, les commissaires à l’exposition ont assemblé un panorama d’images visant à résumer l’idée du Canada.
