This article is about the word. For the novel, see Warmonger (Doctor Who) .

A warmonger is, pejoratively, someone who is anxious to encourage a people or nation to go to war. It is often used to describe militaristic leaders, or mercenaries, commonly with the implication that they either may have selfish motives for encouraging war, or may actually enjoy war. Some may even admit that their selfishness includes the lust for war for personal satisfaction.

By etymology a warmonger is literally a seller of war, from monger used as a transitive verb, meaning a peddler.

"Warmongering Proneness" is a psychological trait and a measure of an individual's susceptibility to warmongering rhetoric and posturing. Dr. McConochie, a pioneer in the field of Political Psychology, has studied this and other psychological traits related to individual and collective acts of violence. His research can be found at http://www.politicalpsychologyresearch.com.
