A sphere of influence is power to affect developments without having formal authority. For individuals as well as governments, it is wise to have a clear notion of this sphere so that your efforts are effective. It also prevents frustration about a process or system if you realize it is outside of your ability to make a difference. The term is often used in terms of the amount of power countries have over a particular region or state.

If the question is asking whether European Powers (specifically, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Russia) established colonies, protectorates, mandates, and spheres of influence in the Middle East, the answer is: Yes. However the question as phrased is a little difficult to understand. It is unclear what "successfully controlling" something means. If it refers to an intentional re-molding of society like what the Spaniards did in Latin America, than the Europeans did not "successfully control" the Middle East. Additionally, if "successfully controlling" refers to having power and authority over all parts of the Middle East, the Europeans did not "successfully control" the Middle East since Saudi Arabia was always independent of the West and Turkey effectively fought off attempts to carve spheres of influence into its territory.
