What is Militarism?
{{no sources|date=March 2025}} '''Militarism''' or '''militarist ideology''' is a view on [[society]]. It says society should be like the [[military]]. This means that society should follow concepts that can be found in the [[culture]], [[system]] and people of the military. Groups or people that say that militarism is good are called ''militarists''. The most important trait to militarists is [[discipline]]. Discipline means to follow a set of rules. It also means having completed and or currently completing or doing training that follows such rules. A strong military is good for discipline. There are many areas where [[moral]] goals and the culture of the military can be applied. The most notable examples of when moral goals and the culture of the military can be applied are private [[business]], [[government]], [[education]] and [[entertainment]]. Militarism is related to [[militarization]], and militarist countries often have a strong military. Thus [[Sparta]] in [[Ancient Greece]], and [[Prussia]] in the [[19th century]] were militarist and had more powerful armies than other states their size. [[North Korea]] is a good example in modern times. In militarist states the military either run the government, or greatly [[influence]] it. Often the [[head of state]] is a military person, though that does not always mean the society is militarised. {{military-stub}} [[Category:Military]]
