}}'''Imperialism''' is an ideology (although it can be argued that it is more of a practice or policy than an actual ideology) that believes a country should expand their power or influence through military action. Imperialism was once very popular and controlled [[The Overton Window|the Overton Window]], but has decreased in popularity over the years. Imperialism is noted for his war advocacy and belief that the powerful nations should rule over the weaker ones. Imperialism differs from [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]] in that he doesn't necessarily believe its nation is the best - though this is common - but rather believes that the big nations in general should rule over the small ones. He is generally seen as being in the authoritarian right cornerarea of the compass, but can potentially exist in the others. He defends himself against accusations of oppression by insisting that colonized people benefit because the richer nation helps them and gives them things they couldn't get normally.
