How to correlate 3 different CSV files with different column names?

I have 3 different source CSV (file1, file2, file3) files.
In file 1, I have field(place) with value NJ and
In file 2, I have a field(city) with value NJ.
NJ is unique value in file 1 and file 2. I need to merge field names to City.
In file 2, I have a field(country) with value USA and
In file 3, I have a field(origin) with value USA.
USA is unique value in file 2 and file 3. I need to merge field names to Country.

I am trying to correlate the fields and join them and create a single table.

Try something like this

source=csv1 OR source=csv2 OR source=csv3
| eval city=coalesce(city,place) | eval country=coalesce(country, origin)
| eventstats values(country) as country by city 
| eventstats values(city) as city by country
| stats values(field1) as field1 values(field2) as field2... by city country
