In which years were the Olympic games canceled altogether?

World War I and World War II forced the Olympics to be canceled altogether, so there were no 1916, 1940, or 1944 Olympic Games. The separate Winter Olympics didn’t exist at World War I, but World War II forced two of them to be called off.
