The 1936 Summer Olympic Games were held in Berlin, Germany. The German Chancellor Adolf Hitler hoped that Olympic victories by German athletes would demonstrate Hitler's claim that Germans were naturally superior to the "mongrel" races from Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

The black American sprinter Jesse Owens took four gold medals, which annoyed Hitler.
