anti-imperialists
Against foreign domination activists
Anti-imperialists are people who oppose imperialism—the expansion of one nation's power over others through colonization, military force, or economic domination.
The term gained prominence in the late 19th century when Americans debated acquiring overseas territories: Anti-imperialists argued that ruling the Philippines contradicted American democratic principles.
Today it describes critics of foreign intervention and neocolonial influence.
