Following the Soviet Union's
participation in the Afghan Civil War, 66 nations, including the United States,
Canada, West Germany and Japan, boycotted the 1980 games held in Moscow. The
boycott contributed to the 1980 Games being a less publicized and less
competitive affair, which was dominated by the host country.
In 1984 the Soviet Union, and 13
Soviet Allies, reciprocated by boycotting the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los
Angeles. These games were perhaps the first games of a new era to make a
profit. The games were again viable, but had become more commercial. Again,
without the participation of the Eastern European countries, the 1984 Games
were dominated by their host country. The game was also the first time Mainland
China participated. Olympic Fans can buy
