Shedding Light on the Olympic Torchnew
China wants the torch to travel through the nations of Western Europe and the United States as well as Tibet as a way to spread the gospel of China's global reach. The torch's 1936 route was also planned with political considerations in mind. The torch was carried exclusively through European areas where the Third Reich wanted to extend its reach: particularly southeastern and central regions.
