Expansionist nationalism is an ideology advocating for a nation's growth beyond its borders, often at others' expense. It emphasizes national superiority and territorial expansion, sometimes using military force. This contrasts with liberal nationalism, which respects sovereignty and self-determination. Key forms include pan-nationalism, racial nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. Historical examples like the 'scramble for Africa' and Nazi Germany's policies showcase its effects.
