The Olympics were canceled in 1940 and 1944 on account of World War II.
The 1916 Games (The Games of the VI Olympiad) were canceled because of World War One. The 1940 and 1944 Games (the Games of the XII and XIII Olympiads) were canceled because of World War Two.
They didn't. The 1936 Olympics were held in Berlin. The scheduled 1940 and 1944 Olympics were cancelled because of World War 2. They were next held in London in 1948.
It was canceled because of world war 1&2
There was no Olympics during World War 2, they were all canceled so no countries participated.
