How did American imperial actions compare to those of Great Britain and other European nations?

The United States historically had far less imperial actions in comparison to their European counterparts. The United States did not have massive colonial empires like Britain or France. The United States acquired some territories outside of the "continental" US however, it did not maintain an imperial presence like any of its European cohorts.

American imperial actions were less extensive compared to European nations like Great Britain, which had vast colonial empires. While the U.S. acquired territories such as the Philippines after 1898, its imperialism was often justified through the lens of promoting liberty rather than outright dominance. This approach contrasted sharply with the more aggressive and systematic colonization strategies employed by European powers during the same period.
