In which year Commonwealth Games are started ?
1930
The Commonwealth Games were first held in 1930 at Hamilton, Canada, under the name British Empire Games, with about 400 athletes from 11 countries.
The event was later renamed the British Empire and Commonwealth Games (1954), the British Commonwealth Games (1970) and finally the Commonwealth Games (1978). It is held every four years and is governed by the Commonwealth Games Federation.
The year 1896 marks the first modern Olympics, and 1911 saw the Festival of Empire in London, a forerunner idea but not the start of the Games.
Hence, the Commonwealth Games started in 1930.
