Olympics


In 1980, soviet troops moved into Afghanistan and as a result the United States called for a boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games. The result of this was that 62 nations despite being invited to the games, did not particpate in the Olympic Games.

At the next Olympics which were held in Los Angeles, the Solviet Union led a boycott for the games. 14 countries which were part of the soviet bloc boycotted the games. Romania was the only country in the Soviet Bloc which permitted it's athletes to participate in the 1984 Olypics
