Revanchism is an attempt by the country to reconsider political and state defeats

In history, it has long been necessary to describe the political manifestation of the insistent desire to regain the lost territories of the country. Therefore, the term "revanchism" was introduced, which includes motivating such actions not only patriotic, but also economic factors of influence.

What is revanchism?

The definition of this concept can be given quite clear. This is the desire of countries, public or party groups to reconsider the results of political or military losses inflicted on them. But if the term "revenge" has a fairly neutral color, then the notion of "revanchism" has a negative connotation. Such an action can not be applied to all loser states, but only to those who initiated an unjust but active aggression.

Revanchism is a political act, the beginning of which is to conceal or diminish responsibility for the country's own aggressive actions, and ends with a complete denial of involvement and guilt. Then, calls may be made to unleash a new military battle in order to win back the territories lost during the previous battle, political significance or restore the old system of relations between states.

Revanchism is a policy that, in the absence of restraining forces, can become an ideology of the country and the basis of the state system.

Examples

Revanchism is the term that was first used in France, after its desire to regain the territory of Alsace-Lorraine, which went to the German government after the war.

Similar actions were observed from Hungary. The country after the First World War wanted to review the boundaries of its territory.

Revanchism is an ideology that is also found in the modern world. It centers around historical regions and looks like a competition for supposedly cultural values. Very often, such actions are found in municipal policy.
