Imperialism is a policy or ideology where a nation extends its power and influence over other countries or territories, often through conquest, colonization, or economic dominance. It typically involves the exploitation of resources and the imposition of the imperial power's culture and governance on the subjugated regions. Historically, imperialism has led to significant political, social, and economic changes in both the colonizers and the colonized, often resulting in conflicts and resistance movements.
American imperialism is the military and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. European imperialism is a period of colonial expansion.
