In both the early modern and modern periods of Western History, Imperialism was caused in general terms by economic needs and wants, cultural values that emphasized superiority (of the imperializing nation) and evangelism, and political ambitions that saw imperial growth as both intrinsically good and important for international rivalries. The sum-total effect of this imperialism upon colonized (or, imperialized) peoples was generally negative, despite some positives involved, given the loss of national sovereignty and the economic disparities that were typical of colonial (or, imperial) arrangements.

Imperialism is a policy extending political economic or military rule over another.
The policy of extending one country's rule over others for economic gain is known as imperialism. It involves the domination of one nation over another, often through military conquest, colonization, or economic control. Imperialism seeks to exploit the resources, labor, and markets of the subjugated territories to enhance the wealth and power of the imperial nation. This practice has historically led to significant political, social, and cultural changes in both the colonizing and colonized nations.

Cultural political and economic
Old imperialism, which occurred from the 15th to 19th centuries, was driven by the desire for resources, wealth, and power. It involved direct control and exploitation of colonies through military conquest. New imperialism, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focused on economic dominance and spreading Western culture and values. It used economic and political influence to control colonies. The impacts of old imperialism were often more brutal and exploitative, leading to widespread suffering and loss of culture for colonized regions. New imperialism had a more subtle impact, with economic exploitation and cultural assimilation causing long-term effects on colonized societies.

Economic and cultural changes.
This is known as imperialism, where a nation extends its power and influence over other nations, often through military force, economic dominance, or cultural influence. Imperialism can involve direct control, such as through colonization, or indirect control through political, economic, or cultural means.
Two key factors that contributed to the growth of European imperialism were the desire for economic expansion, driven by the Industrial Revolution, and nationalistic ambitions, as countries sought to assert their power and prestige. Additionally, advancements in technology, such as steamships and telegraphs, facilitated exploration and control over distant territories. The effects of imperialism included significant cultural exchanges, often leading to the spread of European languages and customs, and the exploitation of colonized peoples and resources, which resulted in long-lasting economic and social disparities. Moreover, imperialism often led to conflicts and resistance movements, reshaping political landscapes in colonized regions.
