'''Chauvinism''' is a [[reactionary]] tendency which upholds the superiority of one's identity, often in the form of a [[nationality]] or ethnicity, over others. Chauvinists seek to further their group's interests at the expense of others while fostering animosity and hatred towards those outside of their nation. Particular manifestations of chauvinism include [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments]], and [[nationalism]].<ref>"Chauvinism". ''Great Soviet Encyclopedia''.</ref><br />

The term “chauvinism” first appeared in [[France]]. It derives from the name of an aggressive and bellicose recruit in the comedy The Tricolor Cockade, by the brothers J.-H. and C.T. Cogniard. The recruit, Nicolas Chauvin, was apparently based on a real Nicolas Chauvin, a veteran of the [[Napoleonic Wars]] who was known for his devotion to [[Napoleon]] and the national greatness which he perceived as resulting from his rule. The word “chauvinism” was eventually applied to many types of exaggerated [[nationalism]]. “Jingoism” came into use in [[Great Britain]] in the 1870s as a synonym. Terms such as “[[social chauvinism]]” and “great power chauvinism” have been devised to identify particular types of chauvinism.<br />
