The total attendance of the last Olympic Games (2012) was about 3 million people from the UK, US and dozens of other countries out there in the world.
The 1980 Summer Olympics was boycotted by the U.S. and 64 other countries.
I believe it is currently 205. The IOC allows territories of other countries to have their own National Olympic Committee so there are such "countries" as American Samoa and British Virgin Islands competing.
No. There were no Olympic games beside the on from Olympia.
No, Fiji has never hosted the Olympic Games.
Its a series of national games held every 4 years where ever country in the world submites their top athletic competitors in their country to the olympic games to compete against other countries for a metel. The olympic games were invented in ancient Greece but lost until people came together back in the late 1800s to start them again.
Since 1984, NO Olympic games has every made a profit. Therefore, it is a losing money just to host it. The money is not a complete lost for the rich countries because they get international fame. Poor countries are not good candidate cities because 1) No tourist likes a poor; dirty area 2) they don't already have the land to build the stadium 3) they have to deal with other political problems before even having time to consider the Olympic games.
They where constantly taking over other countries a and all had emperors. Imperialism is the taking over of other countries.
