I have 2 questions. What in 1984 are examples of imperialism? And also does anyone know why George Orwell was against imperialism? Thanks.

Wars between three states are example, don't know about the other one.

Yeah - he'd experienced the sharp end of Imperialism as a policeman in Burma [now Myanmar] as part of the ruling British Empire and didn't like what he saw and had to do as a servant of the King.

Exemplified in Orwell's Burmese Days.
