20世纪初,正当乒乓球运动在世界各地逐渐开展起来的时候,却由于第一次世界大战的爆发而停顿了一个时期。1918年后,随着大战的结束,欧州许多国家相继建立了乒协,乒乓赛事也日益增多,为了便于交流,促进该运动的发展,人们希望建立一个国性组织。 At the beginning of the 20th century, just as table tennis was gradually being developed all over the world, it was suspended for a period due to the outbreak of the First World War. Since 1918, with the end of the war, many countries in Europe have successively established the Pingjiao Association and the number of table tennis matches has also been increasing. In order to facilitate exchanges and promote the development of the movement, people want to establish a national organization.
