Answer 1

The enabling factor that created Western spheres of influence in China for Great Britain, France, and Russia is **the Convention of Peking**. This agreement, signed in 1860, helped expand foreign influence and control over Chinese territories, significantly impacting China's sovereignty and paving the way for further Western intervention. The other options listed (the Madras famine, the Cuban Revolution, and the Orissa famine) are not directly related to the creation of spheres of influence in China.
