Who is the british military officer who created badminton?

The British military officer credited with creating Badminton is Major Walter Wingfield. In 1873, he introduced a game called "Sphairistikè," which is considered an early version of badminton, at a lawn party in Wales. The game was later refined and formalized, leading to the establishment of the rules and the name "badminton," derived from Badminton House, the Duke of Beaufort's estate.
