History
English term or phrase: carved out spheres of influence
"In the late nineteenth century, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France all carved out spheres of influence in China."
Se me ocurrió: "A fines del siglo XIX, Alemania, Rusia, Gran Bretaña y Francia establecieron zonas de influencia en China". Busco otras opciones, tal vez mejores.

Explanation:
Mauricio, sólo he agregado una frase que, en mi opinión, refleja el sentido de "carve out" y que considero que es fundamental. Saludos y suerte.
