The term comes from the now outdated and derogatory noun '''jingo''', which describes one who vehemently supports policies that favor war, especially in the name of extreme patriotism. It was first used by the British to describe Russia's foreign policy in the 1870s; during that time, aggressive foreign policy was popularly known in the United States as ''spread-eagleism''. The term "jingoism" didn't become popular in the United States until the aforementioned case involving Theodore Roosevelt.
