huolympics1-2, Exercise 2: The 1920 absence

Model answer:

Hungary was on the losing side of the First World War, and like the other defeated nations it was not invited to the Antwerp Games of 1920. In the same year the Treaty of Trianon reduced its territory and population. It returned to the Games at Paris in 1924. The effect of the break on clubs and training is hard to judge, but Hungarian sport revived and by 1932 and 1936 was winning golds in several sports. Dates and the list of excluded nations should be checked.
