Editing Asian Games (section)

===Origins===
The [[Far Eastern Championship Games]] existed previous to the Asian Games, the former mooted in 1912 for a location set between [[Empire of Japan|Japan]], the [[Insular Government of the Philippine Islands|Philippines]], and [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|China]]. The inaugural Far Eastern Games were held in [[Manila]] in [[1913 Far Eastern Games|1913]] with 6 participating nations. There were ten Far Eastern Games held by [[1934 Far Eastern Games|1934]]. The [[second Sino-Japanese War]] in 1934, and Japan's insistence on including the [[Manchukuo|Manchu Empire]] as a competitor nation in the Games, caused China to announce its withdrawal from participation. The Far Eastern Games scheduled for [[1938 Far Eastern Games|1938]] were cancelled. The organization was eventually discontinued.<ref>{{cite web|title=Far Eastern Championship Games|url=http://www.ocasia.org/Game/GamesL1.aspx?9QoyD9QEWPfemU/arvY96w== |publisher=Olympic Council of Asia|access-date=19 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226015204/http://www.ocasia.org/Game/GamesL1.aspx?9QoyD9QEWPfemU%2FarvY96w=%3D|archive-date=26 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
