That event, is the Olympic games. It is represented by the Olympic flag which has a white background perceived as the colour of peace. Embedded within the white background may be the true meaning and purpose of the games - the five interlocking Olympic rings.
Originally designed in 1912 based on an ancient Greek artifact, Baron Pierre de Coubertin encrypted these symbolic five rings into a white background in 1914, then later presented it to the whole world. Today it is recognised by different names like the Antwerp flag as it was presented in the Antwerp games in 1920. It unites the five continents that are involved in the games: Africa, The Americas, Australasia, Asia and Europe.
It is today recognised as an icon symbolising unity and peace, which has definitely brought the whole world together and will hopefully continue to do so in the future.
