Irredentism

Irredentism is a Non-Quadrant Nationalist  ideology which describes the political manifestation of the desire to reacquire territory considered to be "lost" or "unredeemed". Irredentists may want to reclaim territory that their country once owned, but have since lost, or may feel that their country missed out on reigning over land that they believe rightfully belonged to them. Irredentism is also known as Revanchism, however the latter is considered to have a more angry or revolutionary connotation.

Argentina claims that Britain’s possession of the Falklands is an attack on its territorial integrity and demands that sovereignty over the archipelago is transferred, disregarding the wishes of the islands’ population. UK argues that all peoples have the right to self-determination and as long as the islanders wish to ‘keep the Falklands British’ this should remain so. The Argentine claims are based on events which occurred over 180 years ago, when Britain allegedly usurped the islands. Britain’s claims are based on the present situation, arguing the rights of the islanders should be respected according to 21st century democratic standards.

"Main Article: Venizelism"

The Megali Idea (meaning great idea in Greek) was a movement in Greece which was created during  Ottoman rule and was popularised soon after independence by Greek  liberals who wished to unite all Greeks in a single state and liberate them from the  Ottomans. They believed that like that this would also develop the Greek economy. These ideas were adopted by Cretan revolutionary and Greek prime minister Eleftherios Venizelos. The Megali Idea died out after the Greco-Turkish war when the Greek population of Anatolia was deported from their historic homelands, to the other side of the Aegean.

Lebensraum (which means Living Space in German) was a movement created in Germany during the early 20th century. It belived that Germany should expand into the east and colonize much of that territory in order to prevent overpopulation, but also deriving ideas from Anti-slavic  sentiment. It was popularized during World War I when the British have blockaded Germany and Germans hoped that taking over the vast fields of  Ukraine would negate the effects of the blockade. This idea was later adopted by the Nazis and was an central factor to the start of World War II. The idea died out after the war when all germans that lived in Eastern Europe, East Prussia and the Sudetenland were either deported or cleansed.

Whole Azerbaijan is a concept uniting both the mainland state of Azerbaijan,  Iranian (South) Azerbaijan and also Derbent region of Dagestan in  Russia, the historic region of Borchali in  Georgia, the  Turkish province of Iğdır and all of  Armenia into a single Azerbaijani state.

In 1991, Iranian Azerbaijani Peruz Dilanchi formulated the idea of ​​a Greater Azerbaijan, and then-Azerbaijani President Abulfaz Elchibey identified areas for which the future state could claim. The ideas of Greater Azerbaijan were set out in Dilanchi's book "Bütöv Azərbaycan yolunda", published in Ankara in 1997. President Elchibey also believed that the borders of Azerbaijan should extend from Derbent to the Persian Gulf. Shortly before his death in 2000 he opposed to this idea.
