Jingoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (506 words)
Jingoism is a term describing chauvinistic patriotism, usually with a hawkish political stance.
The expression "by Jingo" is apparently a minced oath that appeared rarely in print, but which has its origins as far back as the 17th century in a transparent euphemism for "by Jesus" [1].
This patriotic belligerence was intensified by the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor that led to the Spanish-American War.

Nationalism is geared toward the organization and patriotism of ones own country or gathering of other nations to become part of the government within flux borders.
Jingoism is the idea that we should put great spirited effort into demonstrating how foreign countries should be run through policy but without actually adopting them as citizens.
