What is the Hunger Games background?

Answer 1

Do you mean how The Hunger Games came to be?

If so, the answer is this:

What happened in the 13 districts of Panem rebelled against the Capitol. The districts lost and the war was called the "Dark Days". The Capitol destroyed District 13. After that, the Capitol started the first Hunger Games, and it continued for 75 years.

Answer 2

Katniss Everdeen was born in District 12, the coal mining district. It is also known as the District farthest away from Panem (besides the ruins of District 13), therefore the poorest District out of all of them. Her father died in a coal mining accident when she was eleven years old, leaving her mother in a depressing state. When "The Hunger Games" start, she is 16 years old, and she has a little sister, Primrose (Prim) who is 12 years old. Her best friend is Gale, who is 18 years old. She lives in the Seam, which is the poorer part of District 12. Her only friend, besides Gale, is Madge, who happens to be the Mayor's daughter. She is extremely talented with a bow&arrow, and it is revealed later on that she isn't too bad with a knife as well (says Haymitch). Katniss and Peeta Mellark were chosen to compete in the 74th Hunger Games, with Haymitch as their mentor.
