The 74th Hunger Games was the Hunger Games that serves as one of the primary driving events in the series. This Hunger Games was controversial as being the first in Panem's history to have two victors. The two victors, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark achieved this through attempting a double suicide with nightlock berries, which forced the Gamemakers into letting them win. Although perceived as an act of love by Katniss in trying to protect her love, Peeta Mellark by most of Capitol's citizens as well as a majority of the nation's populace, it was believed by some as an act of rebellion and defiance towards the Capitol, including President Snow. This act will ultimately be the one of the primary causes of the second rebellion soon to follow. It was the last Hunger Games to end with a victor(s) as the 75th Hunger Games was started but was never finished, with 6 tributes surviving.
