Wikimedia Commons has media related to Imperialism.

Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending the rule over peoples and other countries, for extending political and economic access, power and control, often through employing hard power, especially military force, but also soft power. It should not be confused with the largely Marxist theory of imperialism, which is concerned with the transfer of profit between countries.
