Nepalese Unification refers to the process in the 18th century when various small kingdoms and principalities in the region were unified under a single state. This movement was largely led by Prithvi Narayan Shah, the King of Gorkha, who aimed to consolidate power and create a unified Nepal. His military campaigns and strategic alliances played a crucial role in bringing together diverse ethnic groups and territories. The unification process culminated in 1768 when Kathmandu, the capital, was captured, marking the beginning of a centralized Nepalese state. This unification laid the foundation for modern Nepal, influencing its political, cultural, and social landscape. The legacy of this period continues to shape Nepal's identity today.
