You may be a correct, but IMHO, imperialism doesn't seem very compatible with democracy. IMHO, the U.S. was correct in granting nationhood to Cuba and the Phillipines (even if they weren't ready).

I think that imperialism was mostly a success,

Success for who? The imperial powers just got a few centuries of war for their trouble. Those that were colonized got devastation and arbitrary borders for a system they did not need. It's really hard to figure out who you are marking as the winner, maybe Cecil Rhodes? bartleby.com.
