Description

Dive into the tumultuous history of the First Anglo–Afghan War, a fierce conflict waged between British India and Afghanistan from 1839 to 1842. This war was not only a pivotal moment in the 19th-century Great Game—a struggle for dominance in Central Asia between the United Kingdom and Russia—but also marked one of the most significant setbacks to British authority following the establishment of the British Raj by the East India Company. Join us as we unravel the complexities and consequences of this early imperial clash. (Summary by Phil)
