Best Answer

That was the 1956 Summer Olympics. 1) Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq boycotted due to the British and French involvement in the Suez Crisis, a miltay attack on Egypt by England, France, and Israel in October of 1956.

2) The Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland boycotted due to the USSR's involvement in the Hungarian Revolution, causing the death of over 2,000 Hungarians as the Russians invaded the country to quell the uprising.

3) The People's Republic of China boycotted due to the presence at the Games of the Republic of China, which at the time was known as Formosa.
