In 1972, the Olympics returned to Germany for the first time since being hosted in Berlin in

1936. The games were intended to present a new image of West Germany, one that would reject

the image portrayed by the previous Nazi-hosted games and showcase a modern peaceful nation.

That didn't happen. Instead, it became known for a terrorist attack on the Israeli Olympic team, which led to the death of 11 athletes and coaches and one German police officer.

By hosting new games, the government had hoped to change the country's image on the world stage.

The Olympic Committee eventually sided with the Munich bid in 1966, with West Germany being chosen over Spain, Canada, and the United States.
