Expansionism refers to states obtaining greater territory through military empire-building (e.g. imperialism) or colonialism. In the classical age of conquest moral justification for territorial expansion at the direct expense of another established polity was often as unapologetic as "because we can", treading on the philosophical grounds of "might makes right".
