because World War One was being fought from 1914 to 1918
There were no Olympic Games in 1916 due to World War I.
The 1916 Games were cancelled due to World War I.
The erm "cancelled" is incorrect. Olympic Games are never cancelled, since an Olympiad is a period. The Olympic Games of the VI Olympiad in 1916 were not "celebrated". The term to use is "not celebrated".
The answer shozld be: "The 1916 Berlin Olympic Games were not celebrated because of WW I."

The 1916 Olympic Games were not held due to the outbreak of World War I. Many nations were involved in the conflict, making it impossible to organize and host the Games. The Games resumed in 1920 after the end of the war.
1916
For the world Wars in 1916 it was WW1 and in 1940- 1945(?) it was WW2
The Olympics were never scheduled for 1919... The 1916 Games were cancelled, and Antwerp hosted the next scheduled games in 1920.
