DAY IN HISTORY



March 21, 1980 President Carter Announces Olympic Boycott

On this day in 1980, President Jimmy Carter announced that the U.S. would boycott the Olympic Games scheduled to take place in Moscow that summer. The announcement came after the Soviet Union failed to comply with Carter's February 20, 1980, deadline to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. The Soviet military invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to reinforce the country's communist regime against Islamic rebel forces. The invasion threatened to revive the Cold War, which, during the late 1970s, had appeared to undergo a temporary thaw. Reaction to Carter's decision was mixed. Many Americans pitied the athletes who had worked so hard toward their goal of competing in the Olympics and who might not qualify to compete in the next games in 1984. At the same time, the boycott symbolized commitment many Americans felt to fighting the oppressive, anti-democratic Soviet regime. In retaliation for Carter's action, the Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles.
