JINGOISM ( from jingo, perhaps a corruption of Saint Gingulphus, or a corruption of Basque Jinkoa, Jainkoa. Jcinkoa, contracted from Jaun goicoa, Jangoicoa, lord of the high. God). A term coined from the ancient slang expression `by dingo.' owing to an incident of British politics in 1877, when England was undecided whether to interfere forcibly in the war between Russia and Turkey. The Liberals, led by Gladstone, were in favor of leaving Turkey to itself, while the Conservatives, under Lord Beaconsfield, the Premier, were determined to protect Turkey from Russia. During the winter of 1877-78 the excitement in London became intense, and wher ever the fighting spirit prevailed it freely found vent in a doggerel first sung at a music hall: We don't want to fight, but by Jingo, it we do.
We've got the ships, we'vegot the men, we've got the money too." 'Jingo!' shouted with a significant emphasis. was derisively east as a nickname at the warlike party. The term, corresponding to 'spread eagle ism' in America and ehaurinisme in France, has ever since been applied to the warlike advocates of British Imperial sway, and has been taken up with the same meaning in the United States.
