Imperialism

Imperialism is an ideology (although it can be argued that it is more of a practice or policy than an actual ideology) that believes a country should expand their power or influence through military action. Imperialism was once very popular and controlled the Overton Window, but has decreased in popularity over the years. Imperialism is noted for his war advocacy and belief that the powerful nations should rule over the weaker ones. Imperialism differs from Nationalism in that he doesn't necessarily believe its nation is the best - though this is common - but rather believes that the big nations in general should rule over the small ones. He is generally seen as being in the authoritarian right corner of the compass, but can potentially exist in the others. He defends himself against accusations of oppression by insisting that colonized people benefit because the richer nation helps them and gives them things they couldn't get normally.

History
He is one of the oldest ideologies, born in the 16th and 17th centuries in Spain. (W.I.P)

Beliefs
He believes that subjugation of other weaker nations by stronger ones is necessary for survival wether pacifist or militarist (preferably the latter)

 * 2) Fill it with dark blue
 * 3) Draw a white circle in the middle and fill it
 * 4) Draw 4 white triangles in each of the cardinal directions
 * 5) Draw 4 thinner triangles in the intercardinal directions
 * 6) Draw a blue circle in the middle of the white circle
 * 7) Draw blue spokes going from the blue circle to each of the triangles
 * 8) Draw the eyes and you're done!
