Why has Europe had more summer Olympic games than other continent?

Olympic game host cities are allocated based on the merits of the application and how recently the nation has hosted a games. That is to say, a city will not be allocated a games if the country that it is in has recently hosted a games. Since the allocation is based on country and not continent, the fact that European countries have hosted more is of little relevance. A simple factor may be that Europe has more countries with a suitable climate and the capacity to host a game than any other continent.
