They were celebrations to honor certain men who had died. During the next three centuries, another change took place. The Greeks began to consider the Games as a way to develop national peace, understanding and unity. The modern version of the Olympic Games began in 1894 at a world sports meeting. A Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, believed that the Games would help create better understanding among men of all nations. Two years later, in 1896, the first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. It had been 3,349 years since the first recorded Games was held in 1453 B.C. Thanks to the work of Pierre de Coubertin, the Games provided man with the chance to gain international unity through physical excellence.
