The correct answer is A. Great Britain in Hong Kong after 1840s , France in Indochina after 1880s , and United States in the Philippines after 1902  are standard examples of  imperialism.

Explanation:

Imperialism is defined as the attempt by a state to violently expand its own sphere of influence. Imperialism can also be defined as a superpower policy that aims to have the widest possible influence in the world.

In a broad sense, imperialism is a world state policy that pursues ideological, regional, economic and political goals. The manifestations of imperialism include military, ideological and colonial imperialism (colonization).

 The practice of imperialism often involves the notion of cultural superiority or sophistication, which justifies the subjugation of cultural circles and peoples of "lower stage of development." While the imperialist sees itself as developing and cultivating the territories under its control, its economic resources benefit the empire itself. Another justification for imperialism for supremacy is purely geopolitics of power politics, not just for cultural superiority or higher values, but for practical economic-political reasons.

The period between 1871 and 1914 is considered to be the actual era of colonial imperialism. At that time, many of the major European powers had large colonies, that is to say, lands under their own territories.

After World War II, imperialism has been used mainly as a political slogan in its leftist sense. It was used extensively during the politically active years of the 1960s and against the Vietnam War in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. The current war in Iraq has also been called an "imperialist" war.
