What are the similarities between late 19th century imperialism and early 21st century globalization?

Both late 19th century Imperialism and early 21st century globalization involve the expansion of influence and control over territories and economies beyond national borders. They facilitate the flow of goods, resources, and ideas across cultures, creating interconnectedness. Additionally, both phenomena often lead to significant economic disparities and cultural exchanges, resulting in both benefits and conflicts. However, while imperialism was characterized by direct political control, globalization emphasizes economic integration and soft power.
