From the end of the Napoleonic War to the First World War, the term power equilibrium in the European system indicates that the UK played the role of "balancer" or "balanced owner" in the balance of power in Europe It was used for. Its basis is consistent with the policies of any European country, on the other hand, on the other hand, for the most part it will preserve the balance itself by consideration. The Navy's hegemony and the de facto immunity against its diplomatic invasion make it possible for the UK to play this role and make the equilibrium of Europe flexible and stable.

When the revolutionary French rise challenged the balance of the sea and power against the British Continent to Europe, Britain destroyed Napoleon Bonaparte's fleet in 1805, and then destroyed his troops in Spain and Waterloo in Africa I sent troops to the continent. When Otto von Bismarck tried to unify the conflicting German countries, their common rival, the war with France, is an effective tool for mobilizing people to support his mission It was proved. After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the rapidly modernizing Japanese economy and military agencies challenged China and Russia's control in East Asia, led Japan to become a major power in this region.

The emergence of the German empire since 1871 has brought new challenges. Because (with the United States) threatened the UK to be robbed as the world's most important industrial nation. Germany acquired several colonies in Africa and the Pacific, but Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck succeeded in achieving comprehensive peace through his balance strategy. When William II became the emperor in 1888, he gave up Bismarck, started using extreme words and planning to build a navy comparable to Britain. With the advent of a large alliance the UK has noticed that its separation policy is useless. It restored good relations between France and the United States, and finished tension with Russia, and conflict with Germany became a naval competition.
