An irredentist is a person advocating for the restoration or reclaim of a territory considered to be lost or unredeemed. This area is usually culturally or historically related to their nation but now under the control of a foreign government. This can be because of historical events such as war, treaty, or sale of territory. The term is often associated with nationalist movements.
