CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF ARTS AND DESIGN, (2022)
Abstract
In the first quarter of the 19th century, the Russian Empire and Great Britain became increasingly interested in Central Asia, as agents from both empires arrived in the region under different guises, collecting information for themselves and passing it on to their governments. This process will subsequently become a kind of race between the two imperialist states. The result was the political and diplomatic confrontation between Russia and Great Britain in the 1930s over the occupation of Afghanistan, Central and South Asia, known as the "Great Game".
