Collaborationist

Definition: A collaborationist is someone who collaborates, often voluntarily, with an enemy or occupying force, typically during times of war or conflict. This term is used to describe a person who supports or aids the opposing side rather than their own country.

Examples:

1. Katrine was accused of being a collaborationist during the occupation, as she was found to have provided information and assistance to the enemy.
2. The collaborationist government was established to maintain order under the occupation, but it lost support from the majority of the population.
3. Historians debate the motivations of collaborationist individuals, as some argue they were driven by self-preservation while others suggest ideological reasons.
4. The collaborationist newspaper faced widespread criticism for spreading enemy propaganda and supporting their causes.
