The "modern" colonialist axis - is made up of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, Israel, and a few others. The above mentioned nations that have conquered other countries without being "truly" provoked.
This is contrary to George W. Bush's Statement in his 2002 State of the Union Address in that he identified Iraq, Iran, & North Korea (& later expanded to include Cuba, Libya, and Syria) as the Axis of Evil.
Tell me which group of nations have invaded more nations (especially in the last few hundred years) ? It is Not even close!
* England (United Kingdom) - Hong Kong, India, Australia, etc.
* France - Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, etc.
* Spain - The Philippines, Cuba, Mexico, etc.
* Japan - China, Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), etc.
* Russia - Poland, Romania, near Djibouti, etc.
* Israel - West Bank, Golan Heights, part of the Sinai Peninsula, etc.
* United States - Vietnam, Grenada, Afghanistan, etc.
(A Partial) History of U.S. military interventions since 1890

In some instances, "modern" governments and "behind the scenes" industries called for these invasions, because they said these places were "true threats" to the national sovereignty of the invaders.
They even used some bullshit pretense as a reason to overrun another's border. History has shown how ridiculous some of the claims have been - "we are Not conquerors, but liberators" and the like. The reality is that one country wants to be the "head" of a global "ruling" system - whether it is economic or complete hegemonic domination.
The real reason, for any invasion, is selfish national or individual interest/desire. You want what another has - whether it is land, resources, exploitation, etc.
Throughout the history of the human race - all wars have been started because of greed of some sort and the key is Land.
