What is imperialism?

👉Wikipedia'র মতেঃ

Imperialism is the state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas, often through employing hard power (economic and military power), but also soft power (cultural and diplomatic power). While related to the concepts of colonialism and empire, imperialism is a distinct concept that can apply to other forms of expansion and many forms of government.

👉Encyclopedia Britannica অনুসারেঃ

imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military or economic or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent’s foreign policy.

👉Cambrige Dictionary অনুযায়ীঃ

a system in which a country rules other countries, sometimes having used force to get power over them.

এভাবেও বলা যায়,

a situation in which one country has a lot of power or influence over others, especially in political and economic matters.

সোজা কথায়, imperialis হচ্ছে সেই পদ্ধতি যেখানে একটি দেশ অন্য একটি দেশের উপর রাজনৈতিক ও অর্থনৈতিকভাবে প্রভাব বিস্তার করে,  তার সার্বভৌমত্ব অতি দুর্বল করে দিয়ে নিজেদের প্রভাব সুপ্রতিষ্ঠিত করে।
