  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. --
