How to use "Balance of power" in context?
The balance of power is the principle that states that international relations are influenced by the distribution of power among nations. The phrase is usually attributed to Sir John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, in a speech in 1847. He said: "Power tends to go to the most powerful nation, and to the most powerful group of nations. The weak tend to be ruled by the strong." This is because the strong nation can apply pressure to the weak nation, and the weak nation cannot apply pressure to the strong nation. The balance of power is important because it allows nations to negotiate treaties and resolve disputes without being attacked by the stronger nation.
