Imperialisum to me is the act of taking land in another country to better your country or hold authority of another country. Colonies are a mathod of this. Where you send your people to anoter country to make towns and villages in order to access their resources and eventually take over. Sending people of authorty is another way. Like when the french sent their authorities overseas to rule small countries. To me it is a method of reaching out to other countries without nessicarily sending armies or violent threats.But insteand by sending people taht will support their country.

The united states of america grew to its large size through multiple purchases that were made by the presidents. The largest of these was the Louisiana purchase, which brought a lot of land to america. This included states from Montana to Louisiana and all in between.

I do know that New mexico however along with parts of Arizona belonged to mexico until the US purchased it from mexico.
