Which country hosted the first commonwealth games in 1930?

Sydney (Australia)
Hamilton (Canada)
Auckland (New Zealand)

The correct answer is: D. Auckland (New Zealand)

The first British Empire Games were held in Auckland, New Zealand, from 26 January to 2 February 1930. The Games were attended by 400 athletes from 11 countries, competing in 46 events. The Games were a success, and were seen as a symbol of the unity of the British Empire.

The Games were originally proposed by the British Empire Games Association, which was formed in 1926. The Association’s aim was to promote friendly competition between the countries of the British Empire. The Games were originally called the British Empire Games, but the name was changed to the Commonwealth Games in 1970.

The Commonwealth Games are held every four years, and are the second largest multi-sport event in the world, after the Olympic Games. The Games are open to athletes from all Commonwealth countries, which are countries that were formerly part of the British Empire.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games will be held in Birmingham, England, from 28 July to 8 August.
