The process of removing military forces, weapons, and military authority from a region or country.
From demi- (remove) and militarisation. This term became prominent in the 20th century, particularly after World Wars and in international treaties requiring the removal of weapons from border regions.
The Korean Demilitarized Zone created in 1953 is one of the world's most heavily fortified demilitarised borders—it's actually full of soldiers, which is the ultimate irony of the name!
