means One's native country, especially when spoken of with patriotic or nationalist reverence — the home soil owed loyalty, blood, or both.

from A straightforward compound of 'father' and 'land,' mirrored across Germanic languages — German 'Vaterland' is the big one, carried into English partly through translation and partly through its heavy use in German nationalist and later Nazi rhetoric, which is why the word still carries a faint military echo. English already had 'motherland' for the gentler, nurturing sense of homeland; 'fatherland' took the sterner job — the country you serve, defend, or die for, rather than the one that simply raised you.
