So why this kind of imperialism? There's always the standard motivations for imperialism that we've seen throughout world history. If you have conquest, that leads to more land plus people, under your rule. And if you have more land, which is for the most part used for agriculture, well, you're going to have more taxes and wealth, so taxes. And if you have more people, they will have output, so you can tax that, but they can also be used, they could be taxed, so to speak, for war. They could produce more soldiers. And so the more revenue and soldiers you have, well, that could help you just accrue more and more power.
