Year: 2018
Location: PyeongChang, South Korea (and North Korea)
What happened: The Olympic delegations from both North and South Korea participated in the opening and closing ceremonies together and played in unity under the Korean Unification Flag.
Why it’s significant: North and South Korea first marched as one team at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. The 2018 Winter Olympics saw additional unification as host country South Korea partnered with the North to compete under team name "Korea" in ice hockey.


This action is especially significant because there was never a formal treaty to end the Korean War, only a ceasefire agreed to in 1953.
