Introduction
There are many complex and narrow definitions of Imperialism, so what actually is imperialism?
Let's break it down.
- an "-ism" ending on any word means a belief in
- "imperial" - means anything related to a monarchy (king/queen)
- In the 19th century, a king or queen oversees or controls an empire. An "empire" is an area controlled by a monarch.
- If you switch the "I" and "e" in the word "imperialism" you get "EmpIre, with the "e" dropped when "ism" is added.
So let's review!
Imperialism is the belief in making/creating an EMPIRE!
The question is now, How do you make/create, and maintain an Empire?
