Explanation:

Militarism is the ideology according to which military force is the source of all security. In its mildest form, it is often postulated with very varied arguments, to justify the military preparation of a society, all of which tend to assume that peace through force is the best or only way to achieve peace.

Militarism tends to be defined in direct opposition to the peace movements of modern times. Historically, the term was used to refer to specific states involved in imperialism, for example: Sparta, the Japanese Empire, the British Empire, the United States, the German Empire and Nazi Germany, the First French Empire, fascist Italy, Soviet Union, Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Today the term "militarist" is often used more than anything applied in the West to the countries led by the United States (along with the United Kingdom and Australia) and Israel, and to others such as China, France, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and Syria.
