Imperyalismo

Ano ang imperyalismo? – Ang imperyalismo ay maaaring batas o paraan ng pamamahala. Dito, ang isang malaki at makapangyarihan na bansa ay nananakop ng mga maliliit na bansa dahil sa kagustuhan nitong palawakin ang kanilang territoryo.

Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a nation's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas.

Anti-imperialism gained a wide currency after the Second World War and at the onset of the Cold War as political movements in colonies of European powers promoted national sovereignty.

Imperialism was both normal and common worldwide throughout recorded history, the earliest examples dating from the mid-third millennium BC, diminishing only in the late 20th century. In recent times, it has been considered morally reprehensible and prohibited by international law.
