Expansionism

Japanese: 膨張主義 - ぼうちょうしゅぎ(英語表記)expansionism
Expansionism
A movement or policy that aims at territorial expansion of a nation. Expansionist policies generally emphasize nationalism at home, take a hardline foreign policy at the expense of the people's lives, and drive the people to war and conquest. In this policy, only power is emphasized, and the nation eventually moves toward territorial expansion, with expansion becoming an end in itself, and an irrational tendency to expand without restraint.

Japanese:
国家の領土的拡張を志向する運動ないし政策。膨張主義の政策は,おおむね国内では国家主義を強調し,国民の生活を犠牲にして対外強硬策をとり,国民を戦争,征服へと駆りたてる。そこでは力だけが強調され,ついには次々と領土的拡張におもむき,膨張それ自体が目的と化し,とどまるところを知らない非理性的な膨張傾向を帯びる。
