Respuesta :

D. Total control of a Country's economy by the government.

The correct answer is B: The domination by one country of the political, economic, and/or cultural life of another country or region.

Explanation:

Imperialism is the ideology of the political, economical and cultural control by a strong country over a smaller or weaker one, based on the idea of their superiority and applying domination by force (more present in the past) or economic restrictions which is more frecuent nowadays.

An example of imperialism is the british colonization of North America, establishing the 13 colonies throughout the now U.S territory, by force the colonies had not only economic but also politic control over the natives and the only way to repel this influence was to wage a war.

Nowadays, as i mentioned before the expansion pursued by imperialism is gained by economic relations based on the globalization of the market and influenced by a strong capitalist society where the economic relations between countries are extremely important, and in most cases this relation is not equal, usually the smaller country is dependent in many ways to the stronger one, ending in political control and influence over the smaller one.
