    Imperialism refers to the policy of a country extending its control over other countries through military force, economic coercion, or other means. Historically, imperialism involved colonial empires, territorial expansions, and the establishment of protectorates or spheres of influence. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, European powers like England, France, Portugal, and Spain built large colonial empires across multiple continents. In the 19th century, imperialism intensified as more countries competed for colonial control, fueling tensions that led to World War I and II. Methods of imperialism included military force, economic dominance of other nations, and cultural imposition.
