Militarism

Militarism is a belief or approach where a country maintains a strong military and prioritizes military values in society and politics. It often leads to an emphasis on military solutions for conflicts and can result in increased defense spending, arms buildup, and a focus on national security. This mindset can influence public opinion, promote military leadership in governance, and encourage aggressive foreign policies. While some see it as necessary for protection, critics argue it can escalate tensions and divert resources from social and economic needs.
