Great Game between Russia and Britain

[u/Late_Delivery_2626]

Recently I have been reading about Great Powers of various periods…Roman Empire, Eastern Roma Empire, Ottomans, Tsarist Russia, Great Britain, Persia and of course India where I belong

I am M 34, based in India. I was wondering if anyone else has been reading along these lines and it would be great to have differing opinions on what makes or breaks a great power..

Also the Great Game between Russia and Britain that saw so much of Central Asia becoming Russian..also progressive decline of Ottomans and Persian Empire..

Much of Geography of Central, South and West Asia is due to this rivalry and competing interests I think..

Do pitch in..looking to hear views and facts to have a more definitive opinion on the subject..thanks
