LAP6 Should countries pursue policies of imperialism, or empire expansion?

well I support both sides, Empire expansion and to pursue policies Imperialism, because they both can help a country economicly and socialy. Imperialism is for mainly for economic reasons, (to make more money) but food production increased due to better farming methods,and alsoit provides new transportation systems such as rail, road, sea, and air would better the county. Then if  Empire expansion come into play, which will spread culture and make an empire stronger (more people more power) empire expansion expanded population wealth production wealth thats why I agree with both empire expansion and to pursue policies imperialism.
