When bigger empires took over smaller countries they would take alot of there natural resources. In this picture you can see how America and most of Europe took most of Africa's resources. They just marched onto Afircan territory and took whatever they wanted.
Reasons why America became an Imperialistic country:
They felt comptetition form other countries
New markets and trade
Natural resources
Wanted to put naval bases in good spots
It was the White Man's Burden. (our duty)
