This image is a picture of Uncle Sam, which represent the United States. Here he has "Imperialism" written on his hat, which is metaphoric for thinking about imperialistic conquests. He also appears to be "pregnant" with war, meaning that the outcome of imperialism will be war.
The artist is trying to portray the United States' attempts at imperialism in a negative light. The facial expression on Uncle Sam looks very evil, and it is slightly intimidating, like the United States' imperialistic actions.
I think that this cartoon depicts a fairly accurate image of what imperialism in today's age is. It's no longer logical for countries to try and conquer new land because all the land that there is already has occupants.
