Definition
A policy or practice of territorial, economic, or political expansion, often aggressively pursuing growth and influence.
Etymology
From 'expansion' + '-ism' (noun-forming suffix indicating a system, practice, or ideology). Used historically and politically to describe imperial ambitions.
Kelly Says
Expansionism shaped history—European colonial powers pursued expansionism for 300+ years, and historians still debate whether it was driven by economic need, religious zeal, or pure greed.
