Imperialism
Imperialism is a policy or ideology by which a nation extends its power by acquiring territories. It may also include the exploitation of these territories, an action that is linked to colonialism. Colonialism is generally regarded as an expression of imperialism.
Definition[edit]
Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a country's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Imperialism has been common throughout recorded history, the earliest examples being the ancient Egyptians, the Hittites, and the ancient Chinese, who at various times expanded their realms by conquest.
History[edit]
Imperialism has been subject to moral or immoral censure by its critics, and thus the term is frequently used in international propaganda as a pejorative for expansionist and aggressive foreign policy.
Ancient Imperialism[edit]
In the ancient world, Egyptian, Persian, and Chinese empires existed. The cultural practices of these empires diffused beyond their original territories to neighboring regions, often by conquest.
Modern Imperialism[edit]
Modern imperialism started in the 15th century with the "Age of Discovery". Western European countries, driven by advances in technology and a desire for wealth and status, began to establish overseas colonies.
Criticism[edit]
Critics of imperialism argue it is a form of exploitation, which should be abolished. They believe imperialism inherently infringes on the rights of the colonized people, often leading to their oppression and marginalization.
