unification
Many becoming one
Unification is the act of bringing separate parts together into a single whole.
Countries unify: German unification, the unification of Italy.
Organizations merge, theories consolidate, movements coalesce.
The word implies that what was divided becomes one: the unification of the command structure, a unified field theory.
