So the essential paradigm is that every nation remains in limits till it knows that there is a counter force to check its aggression and expansion. So each nation no matter however powerful has to be checked by another and only then will it's beligerence and imperialism stop otherwise it will go on devouring other nations simply.
This was seen in Hitlers Germany. Although emaciated ruthlessly by the versailles treaty, its gradual rise to power necessitated by Chamberlains policy of appeasement made Germany a force par excellence with only 1 or 2 nations that could actually check its rise. Thus it devoured
1. Rhineland
2. Austria anshuluz
3. Czechoslovakia
4. Poland
4. France
5. Belgium
6. Netherlands
This strictly meant that the balance of power was turning directly in favour of Germany and the more number of nations it devoured the stronger it got and the less number of contenders it had.
Thus had it not been for battle of britons and the treacherous winters of Russia that Germany would have veritably setup a lebenserum or whatever.
The concert of europe post Battle of Waterloo was another such attempt at establishing balance of power and thus peace. However as the Ottoman empire started weakening the eastern question arose which eventually ruined the fragile checks and balances put up by the congress of vienna 1815. This would eventually lead to world war 1
Something of this sort is also happening with China as its rising to gain power and thus new alliance and defence equipments need to be brought out so that the balance of power remains
