Etymology
Effects of imperialism paints a picture of a powerful country leaving marks on the places it controls: imperialism is when one country takes control of another, and effects are the lasting changes that follow. That's why the phrase means 'consequences' or 'results', for example new roads, changed languages, or long-lasting harm to the local economy.
