reunifications
Mergings after separation
Reunifications are acts of bringing back together what was once united and later divided.
The word appears most often in political contexts—the reunification of Germany after the Cold War, discussions of Korean reunification.
It can also describe personal reconnection: Family reunifications at the border drew media attention.
The plural suggests multiple instances or ongoing processes rather than a single event.
