Imperialism is a big country, and powerful countries are trying to expand and maintain the control and influence of weak countries. For many years the United States had a tendency to take over the land of others. When Columbus came to the United States about 500 years ago, America first tasted the essence of imperialism. He fought with the inhabitants, did not respect their former way of life, occupied their land, and began to slave many of these native Americans.

Meanwhile, the United States strengthened its power by dominating other parts of the world (Merriam-Webster). Americans control the war with the Philippines because Filipinos believe that Filipinos are not autonomous and do not receive education. Even if that is the case, the US is also about to consolidate Hawaii

To understand, we have to know what it means to a country that is going to build more wealth and more power to dominate and control the new territory. "José Martà came back to Cuba and again enlivened the colonial struggle for independence in Spain's independence struggle" (Davidson, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, & Stroff (2008) pg 616). Marty, he cut the track, destroyed the sugar factory, and set fire on the sugarcane field. Later, the Spaniards defeated Marti and his followers with malicious power.
