Question

Writing at the beginning of the 20th century, Hobson uses the term "imperialism" to
refer to a historically determinate event the transformation of Nationalism, which had
dominated the international arena for more than a century, into a general tendency of
states to expand beyond their national boundaries. The impact of Nationalism on
pre-existent territorial-political entities had in some cases been to increase their
cohesion, in others to lead to their disintegration. But its general result was the
formation of political units (States) of a relatively well-defined ethnic and cultural
composition (Nations). Towards the end of the 19th century, however, these Nation-
States had exhibited a tendency to "overflow their natural banks," thereby giving
rise to those expansionist phenomena which Hobson specified by the term
"Imperialism."
