The sport of badminton underwent
its first significant change in the
1800s when British army officers in
India introduced a net and court.
The game was brought back to
England by retired officers and
played at the Duke of Beaufort's
home, Badminton House in
Gloucestershire.
Badminton was invented in
India in a version called
poona.
Badminton is derived
directly from poona, which
was played by British army
officers stationed in India in
the 1860s. The first
unofficial all-England
badminton championships
for men were held in 1899,
and the first badminton
tournament for women was
arranged the next year.

China
