These questions deal with opinion and perspective supplied by facts, so if this is purely academic there is no perfect answer. In my opinion, yes imperial rule has always been bad. There are positive things about empires, that is what makes them interesting. There are pros and cons, but often that not (speaking in both modern and recent times) the pros are supposed to blot out the cons. The Roman Empire is an ancient example, so yeah those pros weren't mean to blot out the cons. Never forget this, most pros of the imperial government are to make 'managing' easier. If the people dont want to be ruled by a foreign power, then youll get what you always have. Riots and whatnot. Ha, flip open any area of a text book and youll find the answer to "What is a lot or half the people dont want the imperialism?" Listen, there is no such thing as a completely good anything. But also, never let that be an excuse for injustice. Whether or not you judge yours or someone elses empire as good depends on you really, how you feel what you want, your morals. And if you want specific examples - I have plenty. But I am tired of typing now so if you want examples just msg me. Hope I helped
Scarcity of resources. The European countries and Japan didn't have all the resources they needed in order to keep up industrialization and a few other reasons. They resorted to taking over other lands in order the "cheaply" obtain the resources.
Industrialization quickly changed the landscape of the United States and other countries in the 19th century. Construction materials, like steel and iron were needed for buildings, factories, and railroads. Oil was discovered to be a great source of fuel. The Spindletop Geyser in Beaumont, Texas was discovered in 1901, and over 1000 oil companies were chartered. 8 years later, the U.S.'s oil production was more than the rest of the world's oil production combined.
