  Revanchism information - Search.com
Revanchism (from French revanche, "revenge") is a term used since the 1870s to describe political campaigns to reverse territorial losses incurred by a country during previous wars and strifes, sometimes quite distant in time.
Revanchism is intextricably linked with irredentism, the conception that a part of the cultural and ethnic nation remains "unredeemed" outside the borders of its appropriate nation-state.
Motivations of territorial aggression and counter aggression are as old as tribal societies, but the instance of modern revanchism that gave these furious groundswells of opinion their modern name lie in the strong desire by right-wingers in the French Third Republic to regain Alsace-Lorraine after the humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.

 Revisionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revisionist Zionism was a movement founded by Vladimir Jabotinsky, who argued that the terms of the British Mandate in Palestine should be revised to make explicit the objective of creating a Jewish state there, and that the territory east of the Jordan River be included in that future Jewish state.
Territorial revisionism is sometimes used as an euphemism for revanchism or irredentism - the desire to recover territory that a nation has lost in a war.
Revisionism in fiction is the retelling of a story or type of story with substantial alterations in character or environment, to "revise" the view shown in the original work.
