Why is the Commonwealth Games called so?

The Commonwealth Games are called such because they are a multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations. The Commonwealth is an international organization that includes 54 member states, most of which are former British colonies. The Commonwealth Games were first held in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and have been held every four years since then, with the exception of 1942 and 1946, when they were canceled due to World War II. The games are a celebration of the Commonwealth and provide an opportunity for athletes from all over the world to compete against each other.
