During the second half of the 19th and early 20th century diplomatic relations on the borders of Central Asia, South Asia and the Middle East were still shaped by the Great Game – a geopolitical rivalry between the Russian and the British Empires. Iran and Afghanistan did not formally become colonial states at this period, but played an extremely important role in the politics of both Moscow and London.

Numerous Iranian influences and inspirations can be found in this process. A common figure in the discussion on the relations of these countries is Seyyed Jamalouddin al-Afghani, whose Iranian origin is widely contested by Afghans.
