Flaming, kinda, but not in a military way.

Asdf, seriously, I was looking all over the comments where the heck was that comment of yours, just noticed that it was a reply to this chain... Anyways, this isn't the same kind of world that it was 80 years ago. Then large and strong militaries were normal, these days every nation has become way more pacifist and the armies that we have today, are almost tenth of what they used to be. And the fact that defence technology has become far better is also a noticable fact. So put these two together: Smaller militaries + Better defences, what do you get? Exactly, very hard expansion through military ways. That's exactly what happened before colonisation, everyone were so equally matched and had no chance of expanding anywhere because of how hard it was to expand anywhere due to cultural differences and defences.
