Abstract

This article discusses Uzbekistan’s role in the Great Game: geopolitical rivalries and the Central Asian power struggle. The British Empire’s attempts to gain influence and control in Uzbekistan during the XIX century were driven by various factors, including strategic interests, economic opportunities, and the desire to curb Russian influence. While their efforts were not as successful as desired, they left a lasting impact on the region’s history. The “Great Game” between the British Empire and the Russian Empire highlighted the competitive nature of imperial powers during that era and shaped the modern geopolitical landscape of Central Asia.
