Imperialism has been around since the beginning of time. And will continue as long as one nation is more powerful than its neighbors.
The reason? Resources, influence, human nature? Hate?

Quick answer: money. But that doesn't mean imperialism is of necessity a bad thing. Do you feel exploited every time you shop in a new store? Or do you go in the new store thinking there may be some advantage to your shopping there? The answer may not be apparent until you've done your shopping. Of course, if you are forced into the store at gunpoint....
I'm reminded of the picture when the U.S. Navy left Subic. One protester held a sign: Yankee Go Home--And Take Me With You.
