Theoretically, the sovereignty of a nation was not impaired by the establishment of a sphere of influence within its borders; in actuality, the interested power was able to exercise great authority in the territory it dominated, and if disorders occurred it was in a position to seize control.
Thus the creation of spheres of influence was frequently the prelude to colonization or to the establishment of a protectorate.
