Default is my ans completely wrong??

Q: balance of power in the light of Morgenthau.
Ans: i discussed the concept of power then realist dimension of power politics.

War is result of imbalance :

as i dint know Morgenthau,s concept i wrote follwing points & then discussed them regarding Morgenthau,s concept of Balance:

1) Big power plays a dominant role in allaince regarding balancing in region
2) Balance favours status quo
3)balanced is establised by active intervention
4) Absolute balance doesnt exist
5) states seek balance that favours them
then i discussed war of spanish succession that was fought for balance
alliances against napolean
alliance against germans in ww1
power vaccum due to u.s isolationist policy resulted in WW2
