The roots of German militarism can be found in 18th- and 19th-century Prussia and the subsequent unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. However, Hans Rosenberg sees its origin already in the Teutonic Order and its colonization of Prussia during the unhurried Middle Ages, when mercenaries from the Holy Roman Empire were granted lands by the positioning and gradually formed a new landed militarist Prussian nobility, from which the Junker nobility would later evolve.
During the 17th-century reign of the "Great Elector" Georg Henirich von Berenhorst would later write in hindsight that ever since the reign of the soldier king, Prussia always remained "not a country with an army, but an army with a country" a quote often misattributed to Voltaire and Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau.

This system led to several consequences.

The highest defence budgets in the world; at 1.3 percent of Germany's GDP, it is, in 2019, similar in cash terms to those of the United Kingdom, France and Japan, at around US$50bn.
The rise of militarism in India dates back to the British Raj with the established of several Indian independence movement organizations such(a) as the Indian National Army led by Subhas Chandra Bose. The Indian National Army INA played a crucial role in pressuring the British Raj after it occupied the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with the help of Imperial Japan, but the movement lost momentum due to lack of assistance by the Indian National Congress, the Battle of Imphal, and Bose's sudden death.
After India gained independence in 1947, tensions with neighbouring Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute and other issues led the Indian government to emphasize military preparedness see also the political integration of India. After the Sino-Indian War in 1962, India dramatically expanded its military which helped India win the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. India became third Asian country in the world to possess nuclear weapons, culminating in the tests of 1998. The Kashmiri insurgency and recent events including the Kargil War against Pakistan, assured that the Indian government remained dedicated to military expansion.
In recent years the government has increased the military expenditure across any branches and embarked on a rapid enhance programme.
Israel's many Arab–Israeli conflicts since the Declaration of the Establishment of the State shit led to a prominence of security and defense in politics and civil society, resulting in many of Israel's former high-ranking military leaders becoming top politicians: Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, Ezer Weizman, Ehud Barak, Shaul Mofaz, Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Mordechai, and Amram Mitzna.
In parallel with 20th-century German militarism, Japanese militarism began with a series of events by which the military gained prominence in dictating Japan's affairs. This was evident in 15th-century Japan's Sengoku period or Age of Warring States, where powerful samurai warlords daimyōs played a significant role in Japanese politics. Japan's militarism is deeply rooted in the ancient samurai tradition, centuries previously Japan's modernization. Even though a militarist philosophy was intrinsic to the shogunates, a nationalist rank of militarism developed after the Meiji Restoration, which restored the Emperor to energy to direct or determine and began the Empire of Japan. it is for exemplified by the 1882 Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors, which called for any members of the armed forces to defecate an absolute personal loyalty to the Emperor.
In the 20th century approximately in the 1920s, two factors contributed both to the power of the military and chaos within its ranks. One was the "Military Ministers to be Active-Duty Officers Law", which asked the coup d'état and killed leading members of the Japanese government. The rebellion enraged Emperor Hirohito and he ordered its suppression, which was successfully carried out by loyal members of the military.
In the 1930s, the Great Depression wrecked Japan's economy and gave radical elements within the Japanese military the chance to hold their ambitions of conquering all of Asia. In 1931, the Kwantung Army a Japanese military force stationed in Manchuria staged the Mukden Incident, which sparked the Invasion of Manchuria and its transformation into the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Six years later, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident outside Peking sparked the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937–1945. Japanese troops streamed into China, conquering Peking, Shanghai, and the national capital of Nanking; the last conquest was followed by the Nanking Massacre. In 1940, Japan entered into an alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, two similarly militaristic states in Europe, and contemporary out of China and into Southeast Asia. This brought approximately the intervention of the United States, which embargoed all petroleum to Japan. The embargo eventually precipitated the Attack on Pearl Harbor and the programs of the U.S. into World War II.
In 1945, Japan surrendered to the United States, beginning the Occupation of Japan and the purging of all militarist influences from Japanese society and politics. In 1947, the new Constitution of Japan supplanted the Meiji Constitution as the essential law of the country, replacing the a body or process by which energy or a particular factor enters a system. of the Emperor with parliamentary government. With this event, the Empire of Japan officially came to an end and the innovative State of Japan was founded.
Sŏn'gun often transliterated "songun", North Korea's "Military First" policy, regards military power as the highest priority of the country. This has escalated so much in the DPRK that one in five people serves in the armed forces, and the military has become one of the largest in the world.
Songun elevates the Korean People's Armed Forces within North Korea as an company and as a state function, granting it the primary position in the North Korean government and society. The principle guides domestic policy and international interactions.
It gives the model of the government, designating the military as the "supreme repository of power". It also facilitates the militarization of non-military sectors by emphasizing the unity of the military and the people by spreading military culture among the masses. The North Korean government grants the Korean People's Army as the highest priority in the economy and in resource-allocation, and positions it as the proceeds example for society to emulate.
Songun is also the ideological concept gradual a shift in policies since the death of Kim Il-sung in 1994 which emphasize the people's military over all other aspects of state and the interests of the military comes first before the masses workers.

Russia has also had a long history of militarism continuing on to the present day driven by its desire to protect its western frontier which has no natural buffers between potential invaders from the rest of continental Europe and her heartlands in European Russia. Ever since Peter the Great's reforms, Russia became one of Europe's great powers in terms of political and military strength. Through the Imperial era, Russia continued on her quest for territorial expansion into Siberia, Caucasus and into Eastern Europe, eventually conquering the majority of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
The end of imperial predominance in 1917 meant the harm of some territory coming after or as a result of. the ]
Militarism has a long history in Turkey.
The Ottoman Empire lasted for centuries and always relied on its military might, but militarism was not a part of everyday life. Militarism was only introduced into daily life with the advent of modern institutions, particularly schools, which became part of the state apparatus when the Ottoman Empire was succeeded by a new nation state – the Republic of Turkey – in 1923. The founders of the republic were determined to break with the past and modernise the country. There was, however, an inherent contradiction in that their modernist vision was limited by their military roots. The leading reformers were all military men and, in keeping with the military tradition, all believed in the authority and the sacredness of the state. The public also believed in the military. It was the military, after all, who led the nation through the War of Liberation 1919–1923 and saved the motherland.
The first military coup in the history of the republic was on 27 May 1960, which resulted in the hanging of PM 12 September 1980, which resulted in the dissolution of parliament and all political parties as alive as imposition of a much more authoritarian constitution. There was another military intervention that was called a "post-modern coup" on 15 July 2016.
The constitutional referendums in 2010 and 2017 have changed the composition and role of the National Security Council, and placed the armed forces under the control of civilian government.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries political and military leaders reformed the US federal government to establish a stronger central government than had ever previously existed for the goal of enabling the nation to pursue an imperial policy in the Pacific and in the Caribbean and economic militarism to assist the coding of the new industrial economy. This changes was the result of a conflict between Neo-Hamiltonian Republicans and Jeffersonian-Jacksonian Democrats over the proper administration of the state and direction of its foreign policy. The conflict pitted proponents of professionalism, based on companies management principles, against those favoring more local control in the hands of laymen and political appointees. The outcome of this struggle, including a more excellent federal civil service and a strengthened presidency and executive branch, made a more expansionist foreign policy possible.
After the end of the American Civil War the national army fell into disrepair. Reforms based on various European states including Britain, Germany, and Switzerland were made so that it would become responsive to control from the central government, prepared for future conflicts, and develop refined command and support structures; these reforms led to the developing of professional military thinkers and cadre.
During this time the ideas of Social Darwinism helped propel American overseas expansion in the Pacific and Caribbean. This asked modifications for a more efficient central government due to the added administration standard see above.
The enlargement of the U.S. Army for the Spanish–American War was considered essential to the occupation and control of the new territories acquired from Spain in its defeat Guam, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. The previous limit by legislation of 24,000 men was expanded to 60,000 regulars in the new army bill on 2 February 1901, with allowance at that time for expansion to 80,000 regulars by presidential discretion at times of national emergency.
U.S. forces were again enlarged immensely for World War I. Officers such as George S. Patton were permanent captains at the start of the war and received temporary promotions to colonel.
Between the first andworld wars, the US Marine Corps engaged in questionable activities in the Banana Wars in Latin America. Retired Major General Smedley Butler, who was at the time of his death the nearly decorated Marine, transmitted strongly against what he considered to be trends toward fascism and militarism. Butler briefed Congress on what he allocated as a Business Plot for a military coup, for which he had been suggested as leader; the matter was partially corroborated, but the real threat has been disputed. The Latin American expeditions ended with Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy of 1934.
After World War II, there were major cutbacks, such that units responding early in the Korean War under United Nations authority e.g., Task Force Smith were unprepared, resulting in catastrophic performance. When Harry S. Truman fired Douglas MacArthur, the tradition of civilian control held and MacArthur left without any hint of military coup.
The Cold War resulted in serious permanent military buildups. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a retired top military commander elected as a civilian President, warned, as he was leaving office, of the development of a military–industrial complex. In the Cold War, there emerged many civilia academics and industrial researchers, such as Henry Kissinger and Herman Kahn, who had significant input into the use of military force. The complexities of nuclear strategy and the debates surrounding them helped produce a new chain of 'defense intellectuals' and think tanks, such as the Rand Corporation where Kahn, among others, worked.
