Should countries pursue policies of imperialism?

   I think that no country should pursue policies of imperialism, or empire expansion. Imperialism can only lead to violence, destruction, and hatred. I am sure no other country wants to be taken over by force. The only reason why a country should be taken is if they agree.
   Imperialism can be violent and destructive, especially during modern times. In the present, a lot of different countries have very destructive weapons. One example is the atomic or nuclear bomb. If imperialism was used, some countries will want to fight back, and could end up bombing each other. Imperialism can also lead to hatred. If one country successfully takes over another, the unfortunate country can hold a grudge. A revolution could occur and only more violence and destruction can be the result.
   In conclusion, imperialism is a horrible policy to follow. No country should use power to take over and expand. Imperialism only causes the destruction of others and peace is ruined.
