The 'Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. It aimed to resist British rule in India through non-violent means or "satyagraha". Protestors would refuse to buy British goods, adopt Nihal use of local handicrafts and picket and liquor shops. The ideas of Ahimsa and nonviolence, and Gandhi's ability to rally hundreds of thousands of common citizens towards the cause of Indian independence, were first seen on a large scale in this movement through summer 1920. Gandhi feared that the movement might lead to popular violence. The non-cooperation movement was launched on 4th September 1920. This movement became a breakthrough and in a way helped India achieve Independence.
It was called off in February 1922 when a group of peasants lit fire to the police station in chauri chaura located in Uttar Pradesh and ended the non-cooperation.

Three Kingdoms is the name of a historical period in Ancient China. This period lasted from about 180 or 220, to about 280. During this period, China was split between the kingdoms of Wei, Shu Han and Wu. After the fall of the Han dynasty, there were three important successors. However, none of the three was strong enough to win against the two others. During the Han dynasty, China had an emperor. After the end of the Han dynasty, three kingdoms were left. Chinese historians were unable to decide if there was a legitimate sucessor to the last Han emperor. 
The last Han emperor Xian left power in 220, and handed it to Xao Pi. Jin Wudi was able to unite China again in 280. Between the two years was the period of the three kingdoms. 

In the year 189, the central government lost most of  its power. For this point on, it was unable to do much. For this reason, many people think that the time of the Three Kingdoms already started in 189.

Team 
Armenia sent one person to the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Sasun Hakobyan (Սասուն Հակոբյան) was chosen to represent Armenia in December 2017.  He was selected for the Paralympics before any of the country's Olympic people. The total number of members of the team was five.  It included four people who were there to support its skier. The team left for South Korea on 5 March 2018.

In late February,  Armenian National Paralympic Committee President Hakob Abrahamyan was trying to add one person to the team.  He wanted alpine skier Sasun Hakobyan to go to Pyeongchang too.  The problem was the skier missed a qualifying competition.  Armenia asked the International Paralympic Committee to allow him to compete anyway.
The table below contains the list of members of people (called "Team Armenia") that will be participating in the 2018 Games.

The Government of Armenia gave the National Paralympic Committee AMD 6.5 million for the Winter Paralympics.  The money was used for airfare, uniforms and sports equipment.

In September 2017, this decision was reviewed and upheld.  The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) still had concerns about doping in Russian sport.  All the conditions the IPC required of the Russians were not met.

Team 
Mitchell Gourley and Joany Badenhorst were announced team co-captains in October 2017. Being named captain meant they had the responsibility to work with the Australian Paralympic Committee and Chef de Mission Nick Dean to unify a team that would compete in two sports: para-alpine skiing and para-snowboarding. Sean Pollard was wanting to be the last person named to the team. He went to a snowboarding competition in February 2018 in Canada. The event was the last opportunity for people to qualify for the 2018 Games. On 20 February 2018, the Australian Paralympic Committee shared their updated team list. It included 13 people. Shaun Pianta and sighted guide Jeremy O’Sullivan earned the right to go to the Games. They were waiting for approval from the International Paralympic Committee before the Australian Paralympic Committee officially said they were on Team Australia.

The table below contains the list of members of people (called "Team Australia") that will be participating in the 2018 Games.
In March 2017, Nick Dean was appointed Chef de Mission. He previously was the Chef de Mission at the Lillehammer 1994, Nagano 1998 and Salt Lake City 2002 Games and was Deputy Chef de Mission for a further three Winter and two Summer Paralympic Games between 1992 and 2012.

Preparation 
It is expected that the final Australian team will be between 10 and 12 athletes across two sports – para-alpine skiing and para-snowboard. There is the aim to finish in the top 15 nations on the medal table. This target was set by the Australian Sports Commission’s Australia’s Winning Edge policy. The team will be missing its previous Winter Paralympic Games medalists. The missing skiers Cameron Rahles-Rahbula, Toby Kane and Jessica Gallagher.

The Australian Paralympic Committee thought Mitchell Gourley, Melissa Perrine, Joany Badenhorst and Ben Tudhope could be medal contenders in South Korea.

Joany Badenhorst won a gold medal at a World Cup event a month before the start of the 2018 Games. She won two bronze medals at World Cup events in 2017.

Badenhorst was the first woman from Australia to compete in para-snowboarding at the Paralympic Games. She started the sport after being observed by a snowboard coach when she was working out. The coach called her and asked if she wanted to try the sport. Badenhorst said, "why not?" and has been snowboarding ever since. Because the Australian Paralympic Committee wanted to send snowboarders to the sports debut at the 2014 Games, her training was sped up to try to make sure she could compete at the Sochi Paralympics. While practicing in Sochi minutes before the start of competition at the 2014 Winter Paralympics, she crashed and broke her patella. She also collapsed her hip and dislocated her knee.
Badenhorst wanted to compete in para-athletics. She almost went to the 2012 Summer Paralympics in the sport, but problems with her amputation forced her to stop competing. When she was a 10-year-old living in South Africa, she was involved in an accident with a tractor. Because of the accident, her leg was amputated.

Sean Pollard was attacked by a shark. This resulted in him having a disability.

History 
Belarus has competed in every Winter Paralympics since 1994.  Going to Pyeongchang, they had already won 23 medals at the Winter Games. Most of these medals were in cross country skiing, with only 3 medals won in another sport: biathlon. Almost half the Belarus's medals in cross country skiing were won by sit skier Liudmila Vauchock.  Belarus won 3 bronze medals at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi.  They ranked eighteenth for total medals. Their medals were won by Basil Shapteboy () and Jadwiga Skorobogataya ().

Vasili Shaptsiaboi was 38-years-old at the 2018 Games.  He went to the 2006, 2010 and 2014 Games, winning 3 Paralympic bronze medals at these Games.  Before the Games, he was the man from Belarus who won the most medals at the Winter Paralympics.

Liudmila Vauchock 
Liudmila Vauchock has gone to the Paralympics before.  Almost half the Belarus's medals in cross country skiing were won by Vauchock. When at home, her base for training was Raubichi.  She would do three days of intense training, take a day off, and then three more days of intense training.
Vauchock has a disability because she fell off a dormitory roof.  The fall broke her back.  Before the accident, she was involved in athletics.  Vauchock did like skiing while she was at school.  She thought she got more mileage out of running than skiing.  Vauchock started skiing after the accident because others encouraged her to try the sport. She says skiing gives her a sense of freedom and speed.  It makes her feel independent and allows her to connect with nature.  The snow is not a hindrance, but a route to freedom. Volchek does not like attention that competing gives her.  She went to Sochi with only her older brother accompanying her. While many people in Belarus were happy with her fifth-place finish in Sochi, she cried as the result was not what she wanted.  While there are many challenges and many places in Minsk are not barrier free, she is not sad about the accident that resulted in her needing to use a wheelchair
.  Without the accident happening, she does not think she would have become an elite sportsperson.
