The Great Game (jan 1, 1830 – aug 31, 1907)
Description:
The Great Game was a geopolitical rivalry between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for influence in Central Asia, primarily during the 19th century. It began around 1830, as Russia expanded southward toward British India, and ended in 1907 with the signing of the Anglo-Russian Convention, which delineated spheres of influence in Persia, Afghanistan, and Tibet. This strategic competition shaped regional politics and laid the groundwork for modern borders in Central Asia.Added to timeline:
