The Great Game was a diplomatic and/or political argument that lasted for almost the entire 19th century.  This long historical event was between the British and the Russian empire. They were trying to overcome neighboring territories.

The Great Game was a series of disputes between Britain and Russia over territories in Afghanistan, Southern and Central Asia in the 19th Century. These disputes consisted of a series of war threats that created a bad atmosphere and they lasted half a century.
