The Olympics in the 1980s were marked by significant boycotts, primarily the 1980 Moscow Olympics, which were boycotted by the United States and several other countries in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. This boycott aimed to pressure the Soviet Union to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and to protest its human rights record. In response, the Soviet Union and its allies boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, creating a tit-for-tat situation that affected international athletic competition during that decade.
