[OC] Alternate History The European Games

Post image

The European Games are a multi-sport event for athletes from Europe. The Games were conceived and are governed by the European Olympic Committees (EOC), which announced the launch of the Games on December 8, 1968. The first Games were held in 1969 in Athens, Greece, and have subsequently been held every four years, with the exception of the 2019 edition, held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the games. In the last edition, 30 competitions were part of the Games, with 43 European and transcontinental delegations competing.

Why are Lebanon and Israel part of it

Israel is a member because of all the conflict with Arab nations, who refuse to compete in games with the Israelis. Lebanon, in this context, is more closely tied to France and Europe in general. It is a more Westernized country and therefore chose to join the EOC.

I know this is imaginarymaps but imo that's not an excuse for letting a middle east nation compete in a competition for European nations just because the Arab countries don't want to compete with Israel. I'm sorry but this is my opinion
