Imperialism — a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means.

Imagine imperialism as an expansion strategy where the leaders of the country plans to expand their territory for more natural resources, economic power and trade advantages.

But, there is a problem in executing this expansion strategy -

How can a country having expansion plans convince its own countryman on the use of military force which often kills innocent people?

In the past, most of the countries have used propaganda and coverup stories to justify their inhuman and barbaric acts.Let me remind you of some of the most epic coverup stories these leaders have told their own people.

Hitler killing the Jews because he had an impression that Jews were from a “mediocre race”. On the contrary, Germany lacked natural resources before the WWII and to acquire more natural resources, they had to expand. China claims foreign lands as its own. This is the Chinese tactic to first start a dispute and then to crush the opposition with their military force. Remember Tibet? Chinese are exploiting Tibet’s natural resources like gold, silver, copper and lithium, etc in the present world. US alleging Iraq for producing “chemical weapons” of mass destruction and then attacking Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent children and people. The real story is that the US wanted to increase its influence and control on the global oil prices. In the same way, Britishers came to “rescue” Indians from the Mughal empires. On the contrary, India became Britain’s most valuable and most populous colonies. 2.5 million Indian soldiers fought on behalf of Britain during the World War 2. Regarding the money, Britain owes hundreds of trillions of pounds to India.

Should Britain or other countries like Germany, China or the US apologize to the countries they invaded for their inhuman actions?

Yes. They should.

Will they apologise?

No. They won’t as they have to justify the propaganda, coverup stories and the lies they told to their own people before attacking the countries.
