Claim: Yes the historical evidence does support this question because the United States is the most powerful country in the world, this meaning that our country has to make some decisions for other countries, which does make it an imperialist country.
Evidence: According to red path website "The United States is “imperialism” for some people; they view this as an identity. To oppose imperialism is to oppose the United States. To build a united front against imperialism is to build the unity of virtually all the countries of the world against the United States."
Reasoning: The US has initiated coups, and actively worked in other nations to bring down their respective governments. Also the US creates new governments, to replace those that it destroyed, with pro-US views even if they are dictatorships. The US has always fought to stop non-capitalist nations from succeeding, not necessarily because of goodwill for the citizens of those respective nations but because of a hatred, distrust, and possible fear of non-capitalistic economic systems. Nations such as Cuba, Venezuela, Iraq, Vietnam, and former soviet states have all been influenced by the US military deployment and force, for the US government's own interests.
