Anglo-Russian Agreement

The Anglo-Russian Agreement was a diplomatic deal between Britain and Russia in 1907, designed to reduce tensions and divide influence in regions like Tibet, Persia, and Afghanistan. It established a mutual understanding on spheres of influence, with Britain focusing on Afghanistan and Persia's southern parts, and Russia on northern Persia, Tibet, and Mongolia. This agreement helped both powers avoid conflict in Central Asia and marked a shift towards cooperation, paving the way for future Allied collaboration during World War I. It reflected their desire to balance power and maintain peace in the region.
