Det store spillet

Kart over Persia og Afghanistan fra 1848.
Politisk karikatur fra 1878 som viser den afghanske emiren Shir Ali Khan med sine «venner» Russland og Storbritannia.

Det store spillet (russisk: Больша́я игра́; engelsk: The Great Game) var et begrep brukt om den strategiske rivaliseringen og konflikten mellom Det britiske imperiet og Det russiske keiserdømmet om kontrollen over Sentral-Asia.[1]

Perioden kjent som det klassiske store spillet beregnes generelt til å vare fra Gulistan-traktaten mellom Russland og det persiske Qajar-dynastiet i 1813 til den anglo-russiske konvensjonen fra 1907. Etter bolsjevikrevolusjonen i 1917 fulgte det en mindre intens fase.

Begrepet «det store spillet» er vanligvis blitt tilskrevet til Arthur Conolly, en etterretningsoffiser i Det britiske ostindiske kompani sjette bengalske lette kavaleriregiment. Betegnelsen ble senere foreviget i Rudyard Kiplings roman Kim fra 1901[2].
