Western nations were able to control parts of China in the 1800s primarily due to military superiority and the imposition of unequal treaties following conflicts like the Opium Wars. These treaties forced China to cede territory, grant extraterritorial rights, and open up ports to foreign trade. Additionally, internal strife, such as the Taiping Rebellion, weakened China's ability to resist foreign intervention. This combination of external pressure and internal instability facilitated Western dominance over various regions of China during that period.
