What had occurred 40 years prior to the Munich Olympics which made the games so important?
The only things I got are the Holocaust, the separation of Israel and Palestine and WW2. Is there anything else that was major?

WW2 is pretty major!
Supposedly there are like 20 major events and i`ve gotten got 3
Find related events within WW2 --
-- liberation of Auschwitz (and you could list the liberation of other major concentration camps, too, I suppose)
-- establishing Israel as a country
-- Hitler's suicide
and many, many others. Read, read, read and add events related to Nazi attitudes regarding anyone who wasn't part of the so-called Aryan race.
