Great Game
political and diplomatic confrontation between Britain and Russia over the Central Asia region from 1830 to 1895
The Great Game was a strong rivalry between the British and Russian Empires over influence in Central Asia in the 19th Century. This rivalry mainly focused on Afghanistan, Persia, and later Tibet. Both empires used a mix of military force and diplomatic talks to gain both influence and control in Central and South Asia.[1] The Russian Empire took control of Turkestan, while Britain grew its influence in the Region and set the borders of Britsh Colonial India.[2] As the 20th century approached, a number of independent nations, tribes and monarchies from the Caspian Sea to the Eastern Himalayas became protectorates or came under direct control by the two empires.
