Anti-imperialism \An`ti-im*pe"ri*al*ism\, n.
Opposition to imperialism.
Note: This term was applied originally in the United States,
after the Spanish-American war (1898), to the attitude
or principles of those opposing territorial expansion;
in England, of those, often called Little Englanders,
opposing the extension of the empire and the closer
relation of its parts, esp. in matters of commerce and
imperial defense. After the second world war, the term
became used for opposition to any hegemony of one power
over a foreign territory, and to the support for the
national independence of territories, as in Africa,
which were controlled by European nations. --
