Perhaps with ancient Olympics - the modern games have been cancelled by wars a few times (depends how you count, are winter games counted?), have had heaps of boycotts (how do you count boycotts? By country, by issue? By year?) and have been attacked a few times - the Atlanta, Salt Lake and Munich games. I don't think you could call the modern Olympics a period of truce, it's more of a lightning rod for current issues.
