The term "great power" was first used to represent the most important powers in Europe during the post-Napoleonic era. The "Great Powers" constituted the "Concert of Europe" and claimed the right to joint enforcement of the postwar treaties. The formalization of the division between small powers and great powers came about with the signing of the Treaty of Chaumont in 1814. Since then, the international balance of power has shifted numerous times, most dramatically during World War I and World War II. While some nations are widely considered to be great powers, there is no definitive list of them. Alternative terms for great powers are world powers or major powers.

- A Great Power is a nation or state that has the ability to exert its influence on a global scale. Great powers characteristically possess economic, military, diplomatic, and cultural strength, which may cause other smaller nations to consider the opinions of great powers before taking actions of their own. International relations theorists have posited that great power status can be characterized into power capabilities, spatial aspects, and status dimensions. Sometimes the status of great powers is formally recognized in conferences such as the Congress of Vienna or an international structure such as the World Assembly Security Council.

In literature, alternative terms for great power are often world power or major power, but these terms can also be interchangeable with superpower. A "great power" is distinguished from an empire by the means it seeks to exercise hegemonic control over other polities as well as its subjects, for whereas an empire seeks to do so through the use of force (i.e. the Assyrian Empire or the Third Reich) a great power often uses a quasi-military or non-military strategy (commercial domination or cultural influence) to secure compliance from other polities. The formalization of the division between small powers and great powers came about with the signing of the Treaty of Chaumont in 1814. Since then, the international balance of power has shifted numerous times, most dramatically during World War I and World War II.
