Lenin insisted that in the era of Imperialism any sensible analysis of the situation needed to be made on a global scale. His quote reads " From the point of view of Marxism it is stupid to examine the position of a single nation when speaking about imperialism. This is because the capitalist nations are so closely tied together'.
There are a number of historians who believe that none of the basic ideas making up the theory of imperialism were originated by Lenin. It is argued that Lenin borrowed borrowed them from Hobson, and from such Marxist writers such as Rosa Luxemburg and Bukarin.
No he didn't. He though Inperialism is a tool for ruling and exploitation.

Lenin argued that people should not speak of imperialism as a policy because the use of the term would imply that imperialism was something that gave capitalism a choice. Thus there was no science to it at all. Lenin argued that imperialism was a natural development that Marx had simply overlooked.
He viewed it as a necessary means to an end when defeating Imperialism.
Lenin held it as the "highest stage of capitalism"
Vladimir Lenin was an atheist, he did not believe in God.
"If it was necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism," Lenin wrote. So as competition on the national level was reduced through mergers, bankruptcies and the tendency toward monopoly, it became increasingly ferocious internationally. Business required the organized power and resources of the state to secure their interests.
Vladimir Lenin believed that imperialism is the highest form of capitalism. This was one of his additions that helped create the Marxist-Leninist part of world communism. With that said, Nikita Khrushchev made it clear ( to people that adhered to Lenin's viewpoint ) that by virtue of its predatory nature, imperialism cannot rid itself of its innate position that the way to solve contradictions in the world is by war.
Lenin believed World War 1 was an imperialist struggle, by which he meant a capitalist struggle. His opinion of imperialism was that it was capitalism at its highest order. He also urged people to turn the imperialist war into civil war in order to take down the Tsarist government and institute a socialist one.
