Recognized great powers came about first in Europe during the post-Napoleonic era.[1] The formalization of the division between small powers and great powers came with the signing of the Treaty of Chaumont in 1814. A great power is a nation or state that, through economic, political and military strength, is able to exert power and influence over not only its own region, but beyond to others.
The historical terms "Great Nation",[2][3][4] a distinguished aggregate of people inhabiting a particular country or territory, and "Great Empire",[5] a considerable group of states or countries under a single supreme authority, are colloquial conversations (historical jargon).
