| Open Access | THE RIVALRY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA IN ASIA DURING THE AGE OF IMPERIALISM
Tugalova Madina Erkin qizi , Jizzakh State Pedagogical UniversityAbstract
This article examines the geopolitical confrontation between Great Britain and the Russian Empire in Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries—commonly known as "The Great Game." As imperial powers expanded their influence, Central Asia became a strategic region for control, trade, and military advantage. The study explores the causes, developments, and impacts of this rivalry on the local population and the broader imperial order. It also reflects on the long-term consequences for modern geopolitical boundaries in Asia.
