Belgian expansion in the Congo.
Reason: imperialism is the extension of a nation's power through colonization or domination of other territories/peoples. Belgium’s takeover and exploitation of the Congo is a clear colonial/imperial action. The other choices are military modernization (machine gun), nation‑state formation (German unification), or naval arms building (HMS Dreadnought)—none are direct examples of imperialism itself.
