You're not wrong. Most countries are just one pissed off dictator away from being overtaken. Western democracies have shown they are not willing to go to war over small countries anymore. If Germany annexed Austria, again, Europe is not going to go to war against Germany to save it. Austria, or any country can only be defended if they have their own nuclear weapons. That is the only deterrence that works. Unless one of those larger countries breaks up, there will be no new sovereign territories.
