Seems extremely telling that you would phrase things that way.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, a European power could prevail in India, China, Japan, etc.
And in the 21st century? not so much. It is a different world now.
Europe is powerful but the Royal Navy couldn't go today to Hong Kong and seize control of it for example.
And military power influences diplomacy.
