The 1908 Summer Olympics officially the Games of the IV Olympiad were an international multi-sport event which was held in 1908 in London England United Kingdom. These games were originally scheduled to be held in Rome but were re-located on financial grounds following a disastrous eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 1906. They were the fourth chronological modern Olympic Games in keeping with the now-accepted four-year cycle as opposed to the proposed Intercalated Games alternate four-year cycle.
