what is imperialism?
In: 0
Imperialism is a system where one state or nation controls the political, economic, and/or cultural life of another. It’s often done through military force and coercion, although sometimes it can be more subtle, like when a powerful country uses its economic might to influence another.
European nations were the most active imperialists from about 1870 until 1914. That’s when they carved up much of Africa and Asia into colonial empires. But even after that era ended, imperialism didn’t go away completely—the United States has been accused of practicing it in Latin America and elsewhere.
