The Kingdom Games ((オランダ語:Koninkrijksspelen), ) were a multi-sport event that was held every two years between the youth of the countries that were part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. At the final edition in 2009, these countries were the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The 2010 dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles led to the cancellation of the 2011 and 2013 editions of the Games, and ultimately the Games were discontinued in 2014.〔*NSF>〕 In addition to creating a sportive atmosphere, respect and fraternization were also central themes of the Games. The contact between the countries and their cultures was the main theme.〔(Kingdom Games ), koninkrijksspelen.org〕 ==History== The first ever Kingdom Games were held in 1965. It was a try to bring the several parts of the Kingdom closer together. In these days these parts were the Netherlands, Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. In 1975 Suriname became undependant and did no longer take part in the Games. Between 1979 and 1983 the Games were only held between the Netherlands and the Antilles, and after that they were cancelled.〔(Press notification on July 14, 2007 ), koninkrijksspelen.org〕 In 1995 the Games were refounded by former swimmer and politician Erica Terpstra to bring the youth of the separate countries closer to each other.
