Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Afghan Question from 1841 to 1878 consists of five chapters extracted and reprinted from a larger work, The Eastern Question, also published in 1879. The author, George Douglas Campbell, eighth duke of Argyll (1823-1900), was secretary of state for India in the first government of Liberal Prime Minister William Gladstone (1868-74). Argyll believed that the security of India did not require territorial expansion into Persia or the northwest, and he was critical of British politicians and officials who in his view worried excessively about Russian advances in Central Asia. He became a fierce critic of British policy toward India and Afghanistan under the Conservative government of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, and of British policies leading up to and in the conduct of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80). In the preface to the book Argyll writes: "We have yet to see the final results of the Afghan war. We have indeed hunted our victim, Shere Ali, to the death. We have overrun, with the most perfect ease, a great portion of his country. But our 'scientific frontier' is not yet defined. The wild tribes of Afghanistan have not yet been reconciled to our dominion. The cost and waste of our operations are enormous." Argyll was one of the two largest landowners in Scotland, possessing estates comprising more than 175,000 acres (70,000 hectares), and the head of clan Campbell. His interests included politics, science (especially ornithology and geology), and the improvement of education and agriculture in Scotland.

Download or read book The Eastern Question in 1870s Britain written by Leslie Rogne Schumacher and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines mid-Victorian discourse on the expansion of the British Empire’s role in the Middle East. It investigates how British political leaders, journalists and the general public responded to events in the Ottoman Empire, which many, if not most, people in Britain came to see as trudging towards inevitable chaos and destruction. Although this ‘Eastern Question’ on a post-Ottoman future was ostensibly a matter of international politics and sometimes conflict, this study argues that the ideas underpinning it were conceived, shaped, and enforced according to domestic British attitudes. In this way, this book presents the Eastern Question as as much a British question as one related in any way to the Ottoman Empire. Particularly in the crucial decade of the 1870s, debates in Victorian society on the Eastern Question served as proxies for other pressing issues of the day, including electoral reform, changing religious attitudes, public education, and the costs of maintaining Britain’s empire. This book offers new perspectives on the Eastern Question’s relationship to these trends in Victorian society, culture, and politics, highlighting its significance in understanding Britain’s imperial programme more widely in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Securing the Indian Frontier in Central Asia written by Martin Ewans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three decades between 1865 and 1895 marked a particularly contentious period in the relationship between Britain and Russia in Central Asia, which more than once brought them to the verge of war. Moderates tried to settle the problem by the negotiation of ‘neutral zones’, or firm boundaries, but the issue was complicated by misreading of intentions, much internal confusion and dispute, and considerable ignorance of the geographical and geopolitical factors involved. This careful and detailed analysis examines the strategic thinking and diplomatic discourse which underlay the whole period, and in particular of the succession of efforts to establish a frontier, which eventually brought the period to a close without a major confrontation being provoked. Based on relevant records in the PRO and the British Library, as well as private papers, press comment, parliamentary debates and other contemporary accounts, Sir Martin Ewans provides a ‘history of thought' of this crucial period in Central Asia. He provides an insight into the manner in which issues of war and peace were handled in the 19th Century and a fascinating case study of a great power relationship prior to the First World War. An important contribution to the study of Asian history, Tsarist Russia, imperial history and the history of British India, this book will also be of interest in India and Pakistan as a study of the events that led to the definition and consolidation of their northern frontiers.
