The First Anglo-Afghan War was fought between British India and Afghanistan from
1839 to 1842. It was one of the first major conflicts during the Great Game, the 19th
century competition for power and influence in Central Asia between the United
Kingdom and Russia, and also marked one of the worst setbacks inflicted on British
power in the region after the consolidation of British Raj by the East India Company.
