Justifiable Conquest?

I've been thinking about this for a while, is it acceptable for a country to offer a failing country aid under the condition that they officially join the stronger country? Remember the girl with the massive tumor? How many other people have no access to health care, and no opportunity for their kids to be educated? Is there some way for countries to help besides pouring money into the pockets of the corrupt governments that don't care one way or another about advancing their country? Perhaps amalgamation with a more powerful country is sometimes the answer. What do you guys think is the best way to bring third world countries into the 20th century?
