The definition of Imperialism according to google is a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. But a more thorough definition is this: Imperialism is the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country or region. - it's more than just military or government. The reason I wanted to clarify that is because old and new imperialisms happened in an attempt to dominate economically. Old imperialism happened in 1500s to early 1800s. Under Old Imperialism, European powers would build a series of trading stations in their attempt at accumulating wealth.
When, during the course of the 19th century, the Italians, Belgians and Germans raised a claim to their share of the world in addition to the old colonial powers, the term Imperialism became an ideologically loaded and overall imprecise, but probably irreplaceable historiographical concept. 7 During the phase of High Imperialism between 1870 and World War I, every larger European nation state as well as the USA and Japan participated in acquiring territories outside Europe.
