| This is your brain on imperialism. |
Here is the Wikipedia page about imperialism.
Nice isn’t it? Lots of maps and political cartoons. A collection of clear references and an extensive list of books for further reading. The page is fairly well done considering how skeptical we tend to be about information provided by Wikipedia.
It doesn’t even have that disclaimer at the top that indicates the page needs “cleaning up.” The part on “German imperialism” does have a footnote that says: “This section needs expansion.” Germany did try that once and it ended tragically; besides Russia doesn’t want Germany to have anything.
So with that said: Imperialism is when a powerful country (let’s call it the People’s Republic of Pie or the PRP) has a pie and decides they want another country’s pie (the ACP). We are talking entire pies here not slices because who wants just one slice?
