Which countries did not compete in the 2004 Olympics?

In addition to Tuvalu, I found another one: Kiribati (also a Pacific island nation) Also, I couldn't find any entry for the Vatican City State Answer The UN has 191 full members. The US recognizes those 191 plus Vatican City as nations. Only the Vatican and two others, both in the Pacific, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands, did not send teams.By population, Vatican is the world's smallest nation, Tuvalu second, and Marshall Is.

Ninth. That makes 189 nations at Athens. You may be wondering about the difference between 189 and the "202 participating countries" at Athens.

Athens had Taiwan ("Chinese Taipei"), Palestine, and 11 dependencies/territories take part: Bermuda, Cayman Is. , & British Virgin Is.(all British), Guam, Virgin Is. , Puerto Rico, & American Samoa (all US), Aruba & Netherlands Antilles (Dutch), Cook Is.

(NZ), and Hong Kong (Chinese) Answer There are lots of countries not participating Answer Kiribati is participating! Answer Specifically during the Sydney 2000 Olympic closing ceremony all countries of the world were called to reunite in Athens in 2004. However the IOC offical invitations (deliveried in 2003) only go to countries with officially recognised national olympic committees (NOC).

So countries without an NOC are not invited to the Olympics. These are generally very small nations and territories in the Asia and Oceania regions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
