The Summer Olympics have been held every 4 years since 1896, with the exceptions of 1916, 1940, and 1944. The 1916 Olympics were canceled due to WWI, while the 1940 and 1944 games were canceled due to WWII.
The Olympics were not held in 1914 ad 1918 because of World War I. The Olympics were also not held in 1940 and 1944 due to World War II.
The Olympic Games were suspended during the World Wars (in 1916, 1940 and 1944). They also were discontinued for many years between the ancient Olympics and the modern Olympics, which began in 1896.
The modern Summer Olympics have been held every fourth year since their inception in 1896 with the exception of the following years: 1916 (Due to WWI), 1940 and 1944 (Due to WWII). The Winter Olympics have been held every fourth year between their inception in 1924 through1992 and then every fourth year between 1994 and currently (2010) with the exception of the following years: 1940 and 1944 (Due to WWII). The Winter Olympic games were changed beginning in 1994 to stagger between the Summer Olympics so that the Winter games and Summer games would no longer be held in the same year.
The Summer Games of 1916 were cancelled due to World War I and the Summer and Winter Games of 1940 and 1944 were cancelled due to World War II.
