ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION COLLECTED ON AFGHANISTAN AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY

Abstract

One of the most important international problems of the 19th century was the issue of "Central Asia". As a result, throughout the century, Central Asia became the cause of disputes between England and Russia. By the end of the 19th century, the crisis between these two imperialist countries grew into a long-lasting political conflict. The main problem was the struggle between the colonial countries to occupy the territories that had not yet been divided. In this struggle, the specific features of the development of the capitalist system of the 19th century can be seen. The ruling circles of England and Russia have found many serious arguments to justify their aggressive actions in Central Asia, to justify their rights to certain parts of this region. The policy of both countries in Central Asia was carried out under some guise, no matter what pretexts were used for its implementation, the essence of this policy was aggressive colonialism.
