Question
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?

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
<i>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.</i>
