2023 (MMXXIII) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2023rd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 23rd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 4th year of the 2020s decade.
Catastrophic natural disasters in 2023 included the 5th-deadliest earthquake of the 21st century striking Turkey and Syria, leaving up to 62,000 people dead; Cyclone Freddy, the longest-lasting recorded tropical cyclone in history in the Indian Ocean, which led to over 1,400 deaths in Malawi and Mozambique; Storm Daniel, which became the deadliest tropical cyclone worldwide since Typhoon Haiyan after killing at least 5,300 people in Libya; a major 6.8 magnitude earthquake striking western Morocco, killing 2,960 people; and a 6.3 magnitude quadruple earthquake striking western Afghanistan, killing over 1,400 people. The year also saw a decline in the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the WHO (World Health Organization) ending its global health emergency status in May.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Myanmar civil war continued in 2023, and a series of coups, several armed conflicts, and political crises broke out in numerous African nations, most notably a Sudanese civil war. In Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict ended after over 100,000 Armenians fled the region after an Azeri military invasion. In India, the year marked the beginning of the ethnic violence in the state of Manipur between the Kuki and the Meitei people. A major escalation of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict occurred in October when Hamas, the governing body of the Gaza Strip, led a major attack on Israel, leading the latter to both declare war on Hamas and invade the Gaza Strip; the Israeli aerial bombardment campaign killed 20,000 Palestinians within two months and caused a humanitarian crisis, leading to allegations of genocide that formed the basis of an ICJ case brought by South Africa that December.
A banking crisis resulted in the collapse of numerous American regional banks as well as the buyout of Credit Suisse by UBS in Switzerland. The two largest American banks to collapse were Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank, two of the three largest banking collapses in US history. The most notable of numerous acquisitions in various industries included October's energy acquisitions with ExxonMobil and Chevron buying Pioneer Natural Resources and Hess respectively, the luxury fashion holding company Tapestry (Coach New York and Kate Spade New York) announcing its purchase of Capri Holdings (Michael Kors and Versace), and the closure of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In the realm of technology, 2023 saw the continued rise of generative AI models, with increasing applications across various industries. These models, leveraging advancements in machine learning and natural language processing, had become capable of creating realistic and coherent text, music, and images.

Overview
Calendar details
2023 was a common year in the Gregorian calendar, comprising 365 days and excluding February 29, as it was not divisible by 4 in the leap year rule.[9] The year commenced on Sunday, January 1, and concluded on Sunday, December 31, with the day of the week advancing by one each subsequent year in this non-leap configuration.[9] This structure results in 52 full weeks plus one extra day, aligning the calendar's dominical letter as A for the entire year.[9]Designation
2023 is formally designated as MMXXIII in Roman numerals, a system originating from ancient Rome that persists in modern chronology for its symbolic and traditional value.[10] This representation comprises two M symbols each denoting 1,000, two X symbols each signifying 10, and three I symbols each representing 1, yielding a total of 2,023.[11] MMXXIII finds application in historical, cultural, and formal settings, such as official documents, anniversary commemorations, clock faces, book chapter headings, and monumental inscriptions, where it imparts an air of formality and prestige over Arabic numerals.[12][13]Events
January–March
On January 1, Croatia adopted the euro as its currency, becoming the 20th member of the eurozone, and simultaneously joined the Schengen Area, eliminating border controls with neighboring EU countries.[](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64144309) [](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/1/croatia-adopts-euro-enters-borderless-europe-club-on-new-year)
On January 8, thousands of supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed the National Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace in Brasília, protesting the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; the unrest prompted mass arrests and investigations into Bolsonaro's potential involvement, highlighting tensions over Brazil's democratic transition. [](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-64206220)
The Russo-Ukrainian War persisted through the winter months with a stalemate characterized by attritional fighting, harsh weather limiting major offensives, and Russian forces failing to achieve breakthroughs despite intensified strikes on infrastructure. [](https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russia-has-failed-to-break-ukraine-2/)
On February 6, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border, followed by a 7.5-magnitude aftershock, causing widespread devastation including collapsed buildings and disrupted infrastructure across both countries. [](https://www.un.org/en/turkiye-syria-earthquake-response) [](https://www.internetgeography.net/topics/2023-turkey-syria-earthquake-case-study/) The disaster resulted in over 55,000 deaths, with more than 50,000 in Turkey alone, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes of the 21st century; rescue efforts involved international aid teams, though challenges like damaged roads and ongoing aftershocks hindered responses in Syria's rebel-held areas.

On April 15, clashes erupted in Khartoum between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marking the onset of a civil war that displaced millions and caused widespread destruction.[14][15] The conflict stemmed from tensions over integrating the RSF into the SAF, escalating into heavy fighting that targeted civilian areas and infrastructure.[16] In the United Kingdom, the coronation of Charles III and Camilla as king and queen occurred on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, a ceremonial event blending tradition with modern elements attended by global leaders.[17][18] Musician Tina Turner died on May 24 at age 83 after a long illness.[19] Generative AI continued to drive tech sector growth through mid-2023, with organizations deploying tools that transformed industries and workflows amid rapid adoption.[20] On June 18, the Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate for a Titanic wreck expedition, suffered a catastrophic implosion about 90 minutes into its descent at depths exceeding 3,800 meters, killing all five aboard due to the hull's failure under extreme pressure.[21][22] The carbon-fiber-and-titanium pressure vessel, criticized for lacking independent certification and ignoring expert warnings on fatigue risks, buckled instantaneously from compressive forces, reducing the craft to debris scattered across the seafloor.[23] An international search effort involving the U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian forces, and private vessels deployed sonar buoys, remotely operated vehicles, and aircraft over a vast North Atlantic area, initially detecting anomalous acoustic signals mistaken for communication before confirming the implosion via tail cone wreckage on June 22.[21] The incident prompted U.S. and international probes into private submersible regulations, highlighting gaps in oversight for experimental deep-sea tourism and reinforcing standards for material testing and third-party validation to prevent future uncertified ventures.[22][23]July–September
In July, Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor died at age 56 in London.[24] Amid ongoing entrenchment in the Russia-Ukraine war, the Wagner Group's short-lived rebellion in late June exposed deep fissures within Russian military leadership, stemming from mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin's public criticisms of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu over ammunition shortages and strategic failures following the Battle of Bakhmut.[25] Prigozhin, who commanded Wagner forces that had played a key role in Russian advances, ordered his troops to seize Rostov-on-Don and march toward Moscow in a bid to oust Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov, but the mutiny halted after negotiations brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, with Wagner units retreating without significant combat.[26] The episode underscored command vulnerabilities and eroded morale in Russia's war effort against Ukraine, prompting Putin to label it treason while later reintegrating some Wagner elements into the regular army.[26] On August 23, Prigozhin died in a plane crash near Tver, Russia, alongside other Wagner figures, widely viewed as retribution for the rebellion, which intensified scrutiny of internal power struggles amid the Ukraine conflict.[27] The 15th BRICS summit convened August 22–24 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where leaders discussed economic cooperation and announced the expansion of the bloc to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates effective January 2024, aiming to amplify influence among emerging markets.[28] A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck central Morocco on September 8, epicentered near the High Atlas Mountains, killing more than 2,000 people and injuring thousands in remote villages, where traditional mud-brick homes exacerbated collapse risks and hindered rescue efforts.[29]October–December
