The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more formal empire.
- While related to the concept of colonialism, imperialism is a distinct concept that can apply to other forms of expansion and many forms of government.
- Kenneth Waltz suggests that the root cause of imperialism is great power.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Imperialism article was read about 290,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
