Civilopedia entry[]
Militarism is defined as "the belief or desire of a government or people that the nation maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively." Militarism has been a significant element of policy in most imperialistic or expansionist nations throughout history, from Sparta to Nazi Germany. This philosophy has many components that include idealizing personal military accomplishments and government policies that devote a significant portion of the nation's resources to supporting and expanding its military forces.
