Imperialism In Ancient China

- Imperialism has existed back to ancient China and western Asia. The practice later on spread widely to the Middle East and Mediterranean countries during the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. Imperialism is defined as the use of diplomatic or military force to extend a nation’s power and enhance its economic interests, often by acquiring territory or colonies and justifying such behavior with assumptions of racial superiority. Imperialism was important because it was the foundation of globalization by extending the authority of a nation over other nations and
cultures.
