'''Jingoism''' is a term used to describe extreme patriotism, especially in the form of a warlike foreign policy.<ref>http://www.bartleby.com/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/sitesearch?FILTER=col61&query=jingoism&x=0&y=0</ref> The term is often derogatory. The foreign policy of the United States has been described as jingoist on occasions in history, most recently in criticisms by [[liberals]] of how Republican President [[George W. Bush]] handled the Iraq War. [[Liberals]] have not used to the term to criticize Democratic Presidents' starting of wars, as in the cases of Democratic President [[Harry S Truman]] ([[Korean War]]) and Democratic President [[Lyndon Johnson]] ([[Vietnam War]]). The term was first used to describe American foreign policy at the turn of the 20th century to describe Republican President [[Theodore Roosevelt]]'s handling of the [[Spanish-American War]].

A good example of actual jingoism is the history of Nazi Germany. They were so convinced that they were superior in every way, that they moved to spread this across the world by subjugating it under their tyrannical rule.
The word ''“jingo”'' is a British English form of “golly”, “gosh”, “gee” etc. and is always part of the term “by jingo!”. The term found its way into a music hall song, topical during the Turko-Russian War in the late 1870s when British anti-Russian sentiment was still strong after the [[Crimean War]] less than a generation before.
