Spheres of influence in China were established primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through a combination of military pressure, economic interests, and diplomatic negotiations by Western powers and Japan. Following China's defeat in the Opium Wars and the Sino-Japanese War, foreign nations secured treaties that granted them exclusive trading rights and control over certain territories. This led to the establishment of areas where foreign powers exercised significant control over trade and infrastructure, undermining China's sovereignty and contributing to domestic unrest. The spheres of influence significantly shaped China's interactions with foreign powers and fueled nationalist sentiments.
