Q. What is imperialism?
Top Answer
Solution:
Imperialism is when a country takes control of another country or region, usually by force in order to expand its power and influence. This can happen through wars, politics, or control over trade and resources.
The country that takes control is called the imperial power, and the country or region it controls is often called a colony.
Example to understand:
In India Britain ruled for nearly 200 years, controlling the economy and politics, and using India’s resources for their own benefit. This is a classic case of imperialism, where a stronger country dominates and exploits a weaker one.
