The people who would most likely support imperialism here would be capitalists and the media. Capitalists because they can produce much higher amounts of goods for a much lower price - exploiting the local population, and the media because they have stories to talk about which sell :)

</span>
Even though Britain was able to defeat Germany and the Axis powers in Europe, overall the Empire was in socioeconomic shambles.
The war had resulted in the destruction of hundreds of businesses and factories. London itself was bombarded and the many government officials operated from bunkers.

<span>It was Article 231 that came to be called the War Guilt
clause that held Germany responsible for causing the war. It humiliated the Germans and they were very
angry about it. It also forced the
Germans to pay for damages caused by the war.
This bitter resentment among the Germans would later be used by Adolf
Hitler to rally the German people under his leadership and led to the rise of
Nazism in Germany. When Hitler assumed
power, he began invading one country after another which led to World War II.</span>
