Answer: The four methods of control were: colony, protectorate, sphere of influence, and economic imperialism.
Explanation: A colony is a group of people who settle in a new place but keep links to their homeland. The people who founded the United States first came to America to live as part of a British colony. Colony comes from the Latin colonia, meaning "settled land, farm."
A protectorate in world history is a region or political unit that is controlled by another, or the government by which it is ruled. In world history The Protectorate refers to the government of England from 1653 to 1659.
A sphere of influence is a country or area in which another country has power to exercise developments although it has no formal authority.
Economic imperialism in contemporary economics is the economic analysis of seemingly non-economic aspects of life, such as crime, law, the family, prejudice, tastes, irrational behavior, politics, sociology, culture, religion, war, science, and research.
