Answer:
Yes, when a country becomes a serious or extreme menace to other countries.
This happened, for example, with Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan. These countries became extreme aggressors against other countries.
The problem with both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan was that their leaders of these countries were ‘ideologically possessed’ and therefore unreachable for any dialogue with other powers. Other countries were purely the object of conquest, subjugation, destruction, or defeat. Even when the war turned against these countries, their leaders continued to be unreachable for dialogue. There was never a moment when these leaders were ever going to parley, certainly never as equals or with any intent to reverse their conquests.
Note also that the ideological nature of the regimes of these countries made them irremediably unsafe for the world. The Nazis and Japanese Imperialists looked the world through a racial lens that fundamentally denied the right of other peoples (what they called ‘races’) to exist. For the rest of the world this meant that to survive they needed to extinguish the Nazi and Japanese Imperialist regimes. This is why the Allies demanded unconditional surrender of both the Nazis and Imperial Japan. This is also why the Allies after occupying, for example, Germany implemented a denazification program. You can only pursue such goals, if you first take control of the other country.
The cases of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan are obvious in the extreme. Additionally, by and large control of these nations by the Allies was put to good effect. The Allies, led by the Americans, were unusually and extraordinarily competent in how they managed their mandates in Germany and Japan.
Unless a country represents an existential danger to other countries and is governed by leaders that are unreachable for dialogue, there is no good reason why any country should control another country.
