What is the connection between capitalism and imperialism?​

Explanation:

Capitalism is a political system where the country's trades and industry are controlled by a private owner for profit rather than the country or state.

However, imperialism is a policy where a country or someone tries to extend their power as much as they can.

We can instantly make a connection here as capitalism can be very profitable to one person but with imperialism, you can use exploitations to gain an upper hand. E.g. Triangular trade or in a much bigger term, taking over weaker countries for the country's benefit
