Throughout 19th century, British Empire and Russian Empire conflicted each other in the so called ''Great Game''...
Both empires tried to expand their spheres of influence and dominate Middle East, Central Asia, and China, largely due to waning powers of Ottomans, Safavids, and Qing dynasty.
But WI instead of bloodied each other, they just divided Asia into their respective domains through treaty/alliance, and then spend their energies somewhere else...?
Would this possible? And what would be the consequences?
Discuss please...
