Regionally, always. Ask a native American.\nA quantum leap in our foreign policy happened in the 1890's.  But we have never had the same brand of imperialism as the classic European imperial powers.  Though we had missionaries and troops in China at the time of the Boxer Rebellion, for instance, we were in favor of open trade for all, and opposed to the economic rape practiced by the European powers and Japan, though nobody seems to have noticed at the time.  Since 1945, with the Europeans having spent themselves out of empire, and the USSR threating the world during most of that time, U.S. policy was simply to apply a Pax Americana because nobody else could.  Again and still, imperialist but with an unappreciated and very important twist.  There is, of course, a certain degree of arrogance, not to mention inelegance, in this position, but it's simply a case of the old "dirty job but somebody's got to do it" thing.

First, Imperialism is a policy of extending control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires, either through direct territorial conquest or through indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy of other countries. The US has never been a acquisition nation.\n\nNow, there has been a trend to criticize imperialism not at an economic or political level, but at a simply cultural level, particularly the widespread global influence of American culture. We have a great deal of influence on all cultures and our culture is slowly changing the world. \n\nIt comes down to how you view it.

You could consider Canada to be an example of a  socialist State. High taxes, government takes care of health care and education\n\nAnarchy means a country is in complete chaos and every one does whatever they feel like with no repercussions, based on that I don't think there are many true Anarchist nations in operation. \nBut an example of nations  closest to being in a state of Anarchy could be present day Iraq, some warring countries in parts of Africa..Sudan, Sierra Leone, Uganda etc . These places are in a state of constant chaos, people are constantly being raped and executed in huge numbers, they have governments but the governments do nothing or do too little.

For a definition, read the news about Afghanistan and Iraq from sources like:  http://www.alternet.org/ and http://buzzflash.com/\n\nThe US occupation of these two countries is a textbook example of an occupying military and the consequences.

Western imperialism produced various reactions in Africa and Asia. The first response was simply to try to drive the foreigners away. The general failure of this traditionalist response then led large masses to accept European rule, which did bring some improvements. A third response was the modernist response of Western-educated natives, who were repelled by Western racism and attracted by Western ideals of national independence and economic progress. Thus, imperialism and reactions to it spread Western civilization to non-Western lands." hope this helps

I would check out the first link for a time line of events during the 1920's.  Then maybe search http://www.wikipedia.com for information about each event.\n\nThe British Empire started a long time before 1920, so you might need to start at the beginning to find out why they started out to conquer the world.\n\nCheck out the second link too.  It might help.

Yes that is imperialistic, and they force their views and lifestyles on others so that everyone comes to value capitalism and markets and consumerism. This means that spending and buying is encouraged, which means more profits for the multinationals. And the MNCs are in cahoots with the government. HOWEVER, one shouldn't lump together all democratic societies... In the previous century many European countries were colonizing the rest of the world but now it is mainly America which is the imperial power. While there are many factors behind America's imperialism, the main factor is profits, since the American government is run by power elites more than common people.

Late 1800's, under McKinely or TRoosevelt, it was when America was expanding for more marketes, especially in South America and the Philipines. Alot of people regard this as America's "Imperialist" stage

Traditionally, an empire is an entity interested in militarily conquering land and making that land subject to the empire's political control.  Example: British Empire "conquers" the east coast of North America and keeps it under its political control.  \nUSA does not fit that mold (except the states added after the 13 original states which were "conquered" from the Native American Indians, the Spanish, the Mexicans, and, ironically, the British.)  Example:  USA conquered Japan, but gave it back to the Japanese.\nUSA instead is an "economic" as opposed to "political" empire, because it seeks to have capitalism conquer all other forms of economy and then keep the conquered areas capitalistic.  When non-capitalistic countries exist (e.g., Cuba) the USA does all it can to force capitalism on them.
