national unification
Merging into one
National unification is the process of bringing separate territories, states, or regions together into a single nation.
The term often refers to historical consolidations—German unification under Bismarck, Italian unification in the 19th century.
It can also describe ongoing political goals: Korean national unification remains a distant prospect.
The process typically involves shared identity, governance, and borders.
