  • When a country finds some bigger and stronger countries around it and takes them as a threat in the future. The bigger or stronger country may not be thinking to attack but its potential to be aggressive leads the smaller country to make some arrangement or agreement with any other country to be able to defend itself. This arrangement of developing relations to counter the threat is known as the balance of power.
  • How to achieve the balance–
  1. To build up its own military power.
  2. To have friendly relations with other countries to be able to face any challenge or attack.
  3. To have a change in relations and minimizing the difference and resolving the conflicts with other countries who are a threat.
