What exactly does "European sphere of influence" mean? How is it distinct from "partial control/influence"? Why is Turkiye one and not the other?
For Nepal and Bhutan at least, I think they were essentially a tributary state for the British empire and if they stepped out of line they'd be colonised.
Same with Mongolia for the Soviet Union
I guess it's because of Turkey being occupied after WWI
