réunifiée

Réunifiée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb réunifier. Used as an adjective, it describes a political or territorial unit that has been brought together after a division. The masculine form is réunifié, and the noun for the process is réunification. In practice, the process is usually referred to as réunification, while réunifiée emphasizes the resulting unified state.

Usage and context: Réunifiée can modify a country, region, or administrative entity to signal that it now exists as a single unit after prior separation. Common constructions include l’Allemagne réunifiée (the reunified Germany) in reference to the state after the 1990 unification. The form may also appear in descriptive phrases such as pays réunifié or territoire réunifié, particularly in historical or political analysis, documentary captions, or titles.

Distinctions: Réunifiée is not a stand-alone noun but a descriptor. The related noun réunification denotes the process or act of becoming unified, whereas réunifié (masculine) or réunifiée (feminine) describe the resulting condition. The term is widely used in French-language discourse on political history, diplomacy, and regional governance, where themes of division and consolidation are central.
