Nationalism is basically a desire for independent sovereignty of one's own people. At its extreme, it's also an intense love for one's own people/country, to the point that they believe that their people/country is better than other people/countries.

Militarism is when a person strongly supports their country having a very powerful military. A militarist also tends to want to use that powerful military to bully other countries and to push their own country's interests.

So you can see how they'd be related. Someone who is a militarist is usually also a nationalist (although not all nationalists are militarists).
