Question

Describe the main arguments for and against Americans imperialism.

Answer 1

American imperialism refers to the policy of extending the control of the United States over areas that do not belong to its territory. This can sometimes include military action, diplomacy or economic intervention.

There are some arguments for imperialism. Some people argue that imperialism can bring political stability and economic success to countries that are under the control of the United States. As the U. S. is one of the most developed countries in the world, it can also bring development to controlled countries.

The arguments against imperialism usually focus on the right of self-determination. People who suscribe to this view argue that all people deserve to have control over their political life, and to be free of foreign intervention. Many also argue that imperialism is a selfish doctrine that often benefits the colonizer while damaging the native population.
