A total of 46 nations were represented at the Amsterdam Games. [[Malta]], [[Panama]], and [[Southern Rhodesia|Rhodesia]] (now [[Zimbabwe]]) competed at the Olympic Games for the first time. Germany returned after having been banned in 1920 and 1924.<ref name=GuttmannGermany>{{cite book |last=Guttmann |first=Allen |title=The Olympics: A History of the Modern Games |url=https://archive.org/details/olympicshistoryo00gutt/page/38 |date=April 1992 |publisher=[[University of Illinois Press]] |location=Urbana and Chicago |isbn=0-252-01701-3 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/olympicshistoryo00gutt/page/38 38] |url-access=registration }}</ref>

The nations that participated in the previous games in Paris 1924 but were absent in Amsterdam 1928 were [[Brazil]] and [[Ecuador]].

At the time, [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]] and [[Irish Free State|Ireland]] were all dominions of the [[British Empire]]. [[India]] and [[Southern Rhodesia|Rhodesia]] were also a part of the British Empire, but were not dominions. For other sovereign states (i.e. United States, France, Argentina, 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. [[Philippines]] was an [[territory of the United States|unincorporated territory]] and [[commonwealth (U.S. insular area)|commonwealth]] of the [[United States]].
