But the Imperialist is not what he thinks or seems.
Howards End by Forster, E. M. View in context
He was the darling of the Imperialist spirit in German, and the ideal of the new aristocratic feeling--the new Chivalry, as it was called--that followed the overthrow of Socialism through its internal divisions and lack of discipline, and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few great families.
The War in the Air by Wells, H.G. View in context
It was the only battle which I have ever witnessed, the only battle-field I ever trod while the battle was raging; internecine war; the red republicans on the one hand, and the black imperialists on the other.
Walden & on the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Thoreau, Henry David View in context
