Nationalism led Napolean to conquer other nations and greatly expand France. Under the Congress of Vienna, land was split between the five Great Powers so that none were more powerful than the other. The goal was to keep it this way to prevent one country from becoming too powerful.

Europe. France is in Europe.
In 1400, the most powerful country was often considered to be the Kingdom of England, particularly due to its influence in Europe and its ongoing conflicts, such as the Hundred Years' War with France. However, the Ottoman Empire was also emerging as a significant power, having expanded its territory in the Balkans and Asia Minor. Additionally, the Ming Dynasty in China was consolidating its strength, marking a period of great cultural and economic achievement. Thus, the power dynamics of the time were complex and varied by region.
France France ? Ridiculous, France hasn't been conquered more than the average major European nation. In fact, for most of its history it was the one doing the conquering. Far better candidates would be Flanders, a region of Europe which has been invaded by pretty much all the countries in Europe at least once, or maybe Vietnam, invaded by China, France, the US and many of its neighbors.
