A total of 44 nations were represented at the 1924 Games. [[Germany at the Olympics|Germany]] was still absent, having not been invited by the Organizing Committee.<ref name=GuttmannGermany>{{cite book |last=Guttmann |first=Allen |title=The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games |year=1992 |publisher=University of Illinois Press |location=Urbana and Chicago |isbn=0-252-01701-3 |page=[https://archive.org/details/olympicshistoryo00gutt/page/38 38] |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/olympicshistoryo00gutt/page/38 }}</ref> [[Republic of China at the Olympics|China]] (although it did not compete), [[Ecuador at the Olympics|Ecuador]], [[Ireland at the Olympics|Ireland]], [[Lithuania at the Olympics|Lithuania]], and [[Uruguay at the Olympics|Uruguay]] attended the Olympic Games for the first time, while the [[Philippines at the Olympics|Philippines]] competed for first time in an Olympic Games as a nation (though it first participated in the 1900 Summer Olympic Games). [[Latvia at the Olympics|Latvia]] and [[Poland at the Olympics|Poland]] also attended the Summer Olympic Games for the first time (having both appeared earlier at the [[1924 Winter Olympics]] in [[Chamonix]]).

The 1924 Olympics saw a return of the following nations: [[Austria]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Cuba]], [[Haiti]], [[Hungary]], [[Mexico]], [[Romania]] and [[Turkey]].

At the time, [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]] and [[Irish Free State|Ireland]] were all dominions of the [[British Empire]]. [[India]] was also part of British Empire, but was not a dominion. For other sovereign states (i.e. United States, France, Brazil, Japan, etc) and the international community as a whole (i.e [[League of Nations]]) the term [[British Dominion|dominion]], used internally in the British Empire, was very ambiguous, meaning "something between a colony and state". It was only years later with the [[Statute of Westminster 1931]] that this ambiguity would be dispelled. 

And [[Philippines]] was an [[territory of the United States|unincorporated territory]] and [[commonwealth (U.S. insular area)|commonwealth]] of the [[United States]].
