Number 50 – They germinated jingoism

That's rich coming from an American! The word jingoism is indeed an English word but the Americans had their own word for the same thing “spread-eagleism” and were (and are) just as guilty of it as the English.


Just to be clear jingoism means “extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy” does that sound like any nation we know?
