Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: A, University of Nairobi, language: English, abstract: This essay analyses the historical significance of the balance of power system in the formation and function of the league of nations. Balance of Power simply means state of equilibrium. That is, a peaceful world system with no state intervention in another. There was perfect balance of states especially between 1648 and 1914. The system is significant as Europe achieved a fair degree of stability not based on conquest or domination by a single power. It was uniquely accommodative, plural and embraced great powers in conformity with modern ideas of state nationalism. Factors that led to the Balance of Power include: no dramatic technological innovation in war industry that exists today like nuclear weapons, plenty of room for economic development and overseas expansion used as a safety valve enabling states increase power without endangering rivals at home.
