However, for most of the 19th century, Russia was viewed as "the enemy" in Britain; any Russian advance into Central Asia, into what is now Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, was always assumed (in London) to be directed towards the conquest of India, as the American historian <a href="/wiki/David_Fromkin" title="David Fromkin">David Fromkin</a> observed, "no matter how far-fetched" such an interpretation might be.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> In 1832, the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Act_1832" title="Reform Act 1832">First Reform Bill</a> lowering the franchise requirements to vote and hold office in the United Kingdom was passed, which the ultra-conservative Emperor <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_I_of_Russia" title="Nicholas I of Russia">Nicholas I of Russia</a> openly disapproved of, setting the stage for an Anglo-Russian "cold war", with many believing that Russian autocracy and British democracy were bound to clash.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> In 1837, <a href="/wiki/Henry_John_Temple,_3rd_Viscount_Palmerston" title="Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston">Lord Palmerston</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_Hobhouse,_1st_Baron_Broughton" title="John Hobhouse, 1st Baron Broughton">John Hobhouse</a>, fearing the instability of <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Sindh" title="Sindh">Sindh</a>, and the increasing power of the <a href="/wiki/Sikh_Empire" title="Sikh Empire">Sikh kingdom</a> to the northwest, raised the spectre of a possible Russian invasion of <a href="/wiki/Company_rule_in_India" title="Company rule in India">British India</a> through Afghanistan. The British tended to misunderstand the foreign policy of the Emperor Nicholas I as anti-British and intent upon an expansionary policy in Asia; whereas in fact though Nicholas disliked Britain as a liberal democratic state that he considered to be rather "strange", he always believed it was possible to reach an understanding with Britain on spheres of influence in Asia, believing that the essentially conservative nature of British society would retard the advent of liberalism.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> The main goal of Nicholas's foreign policy was not the conquest of Asia, but rather upholding the status quo in Europe, especially by co-operating with Prussia and <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>, and in isolating France, as <a href="/wiki/Louis_Philippe_I" title="Louis Philippe I">Louis Philippe I</a>, the King of the French was a man whom Nicholas hated as an "usurper".<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> The duc d'Orleans had once been Nicholas's friend, but when he assumed the throne of France after the revolution of 1830, Nicholas was consumed with hatred for his former friend who, as he saw it, had gone over to what he perceived as the dark side of liberalism.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The idea that Russia was a threat to the East India Company is one version of events. Scholars now favour a different interpretation that the fear of the East India Company was in fact the decision of Dost Mohammed Khan and the Qajar Ruler of Iran to form an alliance and extinguish Sikh rule in Punjab. The British feared that an invading Islamic army would lead to an uprising in India by the people and princely states therefore it was decided to replace Dost Mohammed Khan with a more pliant ruler. "Rumours could cost lives and Empire itself. Therefore instead of fixating on the oriental other, the East India Company played up the threat of the Russian bear".<a href="#cite_note-Husain-11">[11]</a> In 1834, <a href="/wiki/Shah_Shuja_Durrani" class="mw-redirect" title="Shah Shuja Durrani">Shah Shuja Durrani</a> <a href="/wiki/Expedition_of_Shuja_ul-Mulk" class="mw-redirect" title="Expedition of Shuja ul-Mulk">invaded Kandahar</a> with the aid of the British, but was defeated.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019205-12">[12]</a> The Company sent an envoy to <a href="/wiki/Kabul" title="Kabul">Kabul</a> to form an alliance with Afghanistan's Amir, <a href="/wiki/Dost_Mohammad_Khan" title="Dost Mohammad Khan">Dost Mohammad Khan</a> against Russia.<a href="#cite_note-Iranica-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-Iranica2-14">[14]</a> Amidst the Afghan civil war, the Sikhs seized Peshawar from the Peshawar sardars and subjugated them. The British feared the <a href="/wiki/Dal_Khalsa_(Sikh_Army)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dal Khalsa (Sikh Army)">Dal Khalsa</a>, and they considered the Sikh army to be a far more formidable threat than the Afghans who did not have a well-disciplined army, instead of having only a tribal levy where under the banner of jihad tribesmen would come out to fight for the Emir.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_page_111-15">[15]</a> For this reason, Lord Auckland preferred an alliance with the Punjab over an alliance with Afghanistan.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_page_111-15">[15]</a> The British could have had an alliance with the Punjab or Afghanistan, but not both at the same time.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_page_111-15">[15]</a> When <a href="/wiki/Governor-General_of_India" title="Governor-General of India">Governor-General of India</a> <a href="/wiki/George_Eden,_1st_Earl_of_Auckland" title="George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland">Lord Auckland</a> heard about the arrival of Russian envoy Count <a href="/wiki/Jan_Prosper_Witkiewicz" title="Jan Prosper Witkiewicz">Jan Prosper Witkiewicz</a> (better known by the Russian version of his name as <a href="/wiki/Yan_Vitkevich" class="mw-redirect" title="Yan Vitkevich">Yan Vitkevich</a>) in Kabul and the possibility that Dost Mohammad might turn to Russia for support, his political advisers exaggerated the threat.<a href="#cite_note-keay419-4">[4]</a> <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Burnes" title="Alexander Burnes">Alexander Burnes</a>, the Scotsman who served as the East India Company's chief political officer in Afghanistan, described Witkiewicz: "He was a gentlemanly and agreeable man, of about thirty years of age, spoke French, Turkish and Persian fluently, and wore the uniform of an officer of the Cossacks".<a href="#cite_note-Macintyre,_Ben_p._205-16">[16]</a> The presence of Witkiewicz had thrown Burnes into a state of despair, leading one contemporary to note that he "abandoned himself to despair, bound his head with wet towels and handkerchiefs and took to the smelling bottle".<a href="#cite_note-Macintyre,_Ben_p._205-16">[16]</a> Dost Mohammad had in fact invited Count Witkiewicz to Kabul as a way to frighten the British into making an alliance with him against his archenemy <a href="/wiki/Ranjit_Singh" title="Ranjit Singh">Ranjit Singh</a>, the Maharaja of the Punjab, not because he really wanted an alliance with Russia. The British had the power to compel Singh to return the former Afghan territories he had conquered whereas the Russians did not, which explains why Dost Mohammad Khan wanted an alliance with the British. Burnes wrote home after having dinner with Count Witkiewicz and Dost Mohammad in late December 1837: "We are in a mess home. The emperor of Russia has sent an envoy to Kabul to offer...money [to the Afghans] to fight Rajeet Singh!!! I could not believe my own eyes or ears."<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_page_111-15">[15]</a> On 20 January 1838, Lord Auckland sent an ultimatum to Dost Mohammad telling him: "You must desist from all correspondence with Russia. You must never receive agents from them, or have aught to do with them without our sanction; you must dismiss Captain Viktevitch [Witkiewicz] with courtesy; you must surrender all claims to Peshawar".<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Burnes himself had complained that Lord Auckland's letter was "so dictatorial and supercilious as to indicate the writer's intention that it should give offense", and tried to avoid delivering it for long as possible.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Dost Mohammad was indeed offended by the letter, but in order to avoid a war, he had his special military advisor, the American adventurer <a href="/wiki/Josiah_Harlan" title="Josiah Harlan">Josiah Harlan</a>, engage in talks with Burnes to see if some compromise could be arranged.<a href="#cite_note-Macintyre,_Ben_pp._206-19">[19]</a> Burnes in fact had no power to negotiate anything, and Harlan complained that Burnes was just stalling, which led to Dost Mohammad expelling the British diplomatic mission on 26 April 1838.<a href="#cite_note-Macintyre,_Ben_pp._206-19">[19]</a> British fears of a Persian and Afghan invasion of India took one step closer to becoming a reality when negotiations between the Afghans and Russians broke down in 1838.

only a handful of men followed the order, leaving the British officers to charge against the Afghan force alone and essentially without any support.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019254-42">[42]</a> Dr Lord, earlier political officer of Bamiyan who offered Dost Mohammad terms of surrender was killed amongst this fighting that broke out.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> According to British historian <a href="/wiki/William_Dalrymple" title="William Dalrymple">William Dalrymple</a>, Lord led a cavalry charge which was too late to realize that the rest of the force fled from the field.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDalrymple2013180-43">[43]</a> Fortunately, Fraser survived this charge and returned to British lines, however, with his sabre nearly severed at the wrist.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> Dost Mohammad, seeing what had happened ordered his cavalry to lead a counter-attack, whereupon the disorganized Bengal horse force was routed, with the Afghan Cavalry chasing them in pursuit and killing many.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> According to the depictions of Jonathan Lee, the 2nd Bengal Horse was disgraced for their inability to follow orders, later disbanded, and erased from records.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> Nonetheless, following this route, Sale ordered his infantry and Qizilbash to storm the heights, and after heavy fighting and heavy casualties, they secured the ridge, to their dismay where they saw Dost Mohammad withdraw his forces in good order.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> Both sides withdrew, and later, the Afghans re-occupied the ridge, which was left undefended.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> With the ridge position, they fired onto the British camp below. As the following day came, Timur Mirza and Burnes urged Sale to abandon the campaign.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> This was due to the Afghan troops loyal to Shah Shuja who had not deserted, already being on the edge of mutiny, as well as Sale losing hundreds of men and many more wounded with nothing to show for it.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> With supplies running low as well, he obliged and returned to Charikar, crossing the Panjshir river, with those villages he had campaigned for at great cost quickly being reoccupied.<a

the trail of devastation left by him, Sale called Parwan Darra a victory.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> However he was unable to conceal the fact of the 2nd Bengal horse defying orders, and as a result, many British officers were killed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> Atkinson, the armies surgeon general, called the encounter a “disaster”, Kaye also called the battle a defeat.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> However, early in the evening of 2 November 1840, a horsemen identified as Sultan Muhammad Khan Safi rode up to Macnaghten, as with this, he was followed by another lone horsemen, who came up to Macnaghten.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> This horsemen was no other than <a href="/wiki/Dost_Mohammad_Khan" title="Dost Mohammad Khan">Dost Mohammad Khan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> Dost Mohammad's surrender has been given much speculation by historians as to why he surrendered.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> A number of explanations range from Dost Mohammad's surrender, oddly even after his victory at Parwan Darra.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> According to Jonathan lee, some of these depictions include Dost Mohammad believing that the British were destined to rule between the Indus and more.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Others claim according to Jonathan lee, that, after the defeat at Saighan, Dost Mohammad was free to surrender without loss of honour.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Another theory being that Dost Mohammad surrendered due to the brave suicidal charge done by Captain Fraser and Dr Lord, where he could have recognized resistance as futile.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> This theory however, did not make any sense as where the 2nd Bengal horse faced many defy orders to charge with them, the British lost multiple men due to this and inevitably, the battle.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Another theory to Dost Mohammad's surrender was his family being in custody with the British, and about to be exiled to British India.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> This theory is even less credible, however, due to the fact that the British promising to treat them honourably, as Dost was in no position regardless to change this.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Nonetheless, whatever reason Dost Mohammad had surrendered for, it was clear he was not surrendering as a defeated man, as he had successfully defeated the British at Parwan Darra, and even forced their withdrawal from Bamiyan.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> The revolt in Kohistan also put the military favor within Dost Mohammad's reach, yet for some reason, he decided to give up resistance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> <a href="/wiki/Mohan_Lal_Kashmiri" title="Mohan Lal Kashmiri">Mohan Lal</a> gives the most clear and coherent theory was to why Dost Mohammad surrendered, as according to Lal, Dost Mohammad Khan was plotted against, and in battle, a sniper planned to assassinate him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> As further explained by Lal, this was plotted out by Kohistani Amirs, who would then blame the British for this.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Lal's accounts and claims are supported by letters to Dost Mohammad Khan from Sultan Muhammad Khan of Nijrab, who had warned the Amir of a plot that was circulating from Maliks who were planning to betray and assassinate him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a> Abd al-Karim Alawi, who wrote a near contemporary account of the First Anglo-Afghan War, elaborates further on the details of this plot.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019256-45">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> According to Al-Karim, Sales and Burnes were in contact with the Malik of ‘Ali Hissar, who agreed to kill or capture Dost Mohammad and his two sons in exchange for a substantial payment.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> According to confidential information shared by British officers, Macnaghten and Burnes had been intercepting communications from Sultan Muhammad Khan of Nijrab, and his supporters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> As a result, Macnaghten forged a letter from a well-wisher in Kabul, sending a letter to Dost Mohammad Khan, where it warned the Amir of a plot on his life.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> Dost Mohammad Khan, having read this letter, was convinced that there was indeed, a plot on his life, as he did not have reason to trust the Kohistanis, as decades prior, he attacked and razed the region.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> As a result, the only person he seemed to have trusted was Sultan Muhammad Khan of Nijrab.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> As a result, Dost Mohammad’s options were limited, as the Mir Wali and Murad Beg signed a treaty with Shah Shuja, no longer offering sanctuary for Dost Mohammad.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> His experience in Bukhara and how he had to escape swayed Dost Mohammad from trying to seek refuge in Balkh, as he could be imprisoned, or even killed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> Therefore, he went to the only choice he could think of, the British.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> The British cantonment at Kabul was only a few hours ride from Parwan Darra, and he had already received assurances that he would be treated honourably in captivity and exile.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> As a result, Dost Mohammad’s “surrender” is treated by Jonathan Lee and many other historians as nothing akin to surrender, rather seeking refuge with the British government through an old tradition of grabbing the stirrup.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> An old Turco-Mongolian tradition called rikab giriftan.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019257-46">[46]</a> Atkinson states that Dost Mohammad was seeking the protection of the British government through this action, and as a result, a famous sketch was produced showing Macnaghten and Dost Mohammad shaking hands as a sign of friendship.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> According to Jonathan Lee, Akbar Khan had later stated that his father “Thrown himself upon the honour of the British government, in times of need”.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> Macnaghten was elated to hear the news, as according to Jonathan Lee, he stated: “The Afghans are gunpowder and the Dost is a lighted match”.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> Dost Mohammad was treated honourably, and even was housed in the Bala Hissar, with Dost Mohammad allowed to meet his family, and write to his sons that were in open resistance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> Dost Mohammad was also allowed to ride on horse with an escort.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> During his stay in the Bala Hissar, he held a secret court, with many coming to pay their respects to the former Amir.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> This had shown Dost Mohammad's popularity, and opposite to Shah Shuja's claims, Shah Shuja was seen as unpopular by many.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> In Macnaghten's letters, it was shown that he expressed sympathy for Dost Mohammad, showing a very clear contrast to what he referred to him now compared to two years prior, where he denounced Dost Mohammad in the Simla declaration.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019258-47">[47]</a> Macnaghten even asked the Governor General to treat Dost Mohammad better than when they had Shah Shuja in his exile, since to his statement: “We ejected the Dost, who never offended us, in support of our policy, of which he was the victim”.<a

clear that Shuja's rule could only be maintained with the presence of a stronger British force. The Afghans resented the British presence and the rule of Shah Shuja. As the occupation dragged on, the East India Company's first political officer <a href="/wiki/William_Hay_Macnaghten" title="William Hay Macnaghten">William Hay Macnaghten</a> allowed his soldiers to bring their families to Afghanistan to improve morale;<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> this further infuriated the Afghans, as it appeared the British were setting up a permanent occupation.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> Macnaghten purchased a mansion in Kabul, where he installed his wife, crystal chandelier, a fine selection of French wines, and hundreds of servants from India, making himself completely at home.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._121-37">[37]</a> Macnaghten, who had once been a judge in a small town in Ulster before deciding he wanted to be much more than a small town judge in Ireland, was known for his arrogant, imperious manner, and was simply called "the Envoy" by both the Afghans and the British.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._121-37">[37]</a> The wife of one British officer, Lady <a href="/wiki/Florentia_Sale" title="Florentia Sale">Florentia Sale</a> created an English style garden at her house in Kabul, which was much admired and in August 1841 her daughter Alexadrina was married at her Kabul home to Lieutenant John Sturt of the Royal Engineers.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._121-37">[37]</a> The British officers staged horse races, played cricket and in winter ice skating over the frozen local ponds, which astonished the Afghans who had never seen this before.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._121-37">[37]</a> Afghanistan had no army, and instead had a feudal system under which the chiefs would maintain a certain number of armed retainers, principally cavalry together with a number of tribesmen who could be called upon to fight in a time of war; when the Emir went to war, he would call upon his chiefs to bring out their men to fight for him.<a href="#cite_note-:1-30">[30]</a> In 1840, the British strongly pressured Shuja to replace the feudal system with a <a href="/wiki/Standing_army" title="Standing army">standing army</a>, which threatened to do away with the power of the chiefs, and which the Emir rejected under the grounds that Afghanistan lacked the financial ability to fund a standing army.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg/220px-The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="177" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg/330px-The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg/440px-The_army_of_the_Indus_entering_Kandahar.jpg 2x" data-file-width="460" data-file-height="370" /></a><figcaption>British army entering <a href="/wiki/Kandahar" title="Kandahar">Kandahar</a></figcaption></figure> Dost Mohammad successfully defeated the British at the <a href="/wiki/Parwan_Campaign_(1840)" title="Parwan Campaign (1840)">battle of Parwan Darra</a> on 2 November 1840. However, following his victory, he surrendered and was sent to India in exile after hearing rumours of assassination plots against him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELee2019255-44">[44]</a> In 1839–40, the entire rationale for the occupation of Afghanistan was changed by the Oriental Crisis when Mohammad Ali the Great, the vali (governor) of Egypt who was a close French ally, rebelled against the Sublime Porte; during the subsequent crisis, Russia and Britain co-operated against France, and with the improvement in Anglo-Russian relations, the need for a buffer state in Central Asia decreased.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Oriental_Crisis_of_1840" title="Oriental Crisis of 1840">Oriental Crisis of 1840</a> almost caused an Anglo-French war, which given the long-standing Franco-Russian rivalry caused by Nicholas's detestation of Louis-Philippe as a traitor to the conservative cause, inevitably improved relations between London and St. Petersburg, which ultimately led to the Emperor Nicholas making an imperial visit to London in 1844 to meet Queen Victoria and the Prime Minister Lord Peel. As early as 1838, Count <a href="/wiki/Karl_Nesselrode" title="Karl Nesselrode">Karl Nesselrode</a>, the Russian Foreign Minister, had suggested to the British Ambassador in St. Petersburg, <a href="/wiki/Ulick_de_Burgh,_1st_Marquess_of_Clanricarde" title="Ulick de Burgh, 1st Marquess of Clanricarde">Lord Clanricarde</a>, that Britain and Russia sign a treaty delimiting spheres of influence in Asia to end the "Great Game" once and for all.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> By 1840 Clanricarde was reporting to London that he was quite certain a mutually satisfactory agreement could be negotiated, and all he needed was the necessary permission from the Foreign Office to begin talks.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> From Calcutta, Lord Auckland pressed for acceptance of the Russian offer, writing "I would look forward to a tripartite Treaty of the West under which a limit shall be placed to the advance of England, Russia and Persia and under which all shall continue to repress slave dealing and plunder".<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> Though Britain rejected the Russian offer, after 1840 there was a marked decline in Anglo-Russian rivalry and a "fair working relationship in Asia" had developed.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> The British Foreign Secretary <a href="/wiki/Henry_John_Temple,_3rd_Viscount_Palmerston" title="Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston">Lord Palmerston</a> rejected the Russian offer to end the "Great Game" as he believed that as long as the "Great Game" continued, Britain could inconvenience Russia in Asia to better achieve her foreign policy goals in Europe much more than Russia could inconvenience Britain in Asia to achieve her foreign policy goals in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> Palmerston noted that because the British had more money to bribe local rulers in Central Asia, this gave them the advantage in this "game", and it was thus better to keep the "Great Game" going.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> Palmerston believed it was Britain that held the advantage in the "Great Game", that the Russian offer to definitely mark out spheres of influence in Asia was a sign of weakness and he preferred no such treaty be signed.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> From Palmerston's viewpoint accepting the Russian offer would be unwelcome as the end of the "Great Game" in Asia would mean the redeployment of Russian power to Europe, the place that really counted for him, and it was better to keep the "Great Game" going, albeit at a reduced rate given the tensions with France.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> At the same time, the lowering of Anglo-Russian tension in the 1840s made holding Afghanistan more of an expensive luxury from the British viewpoint as it no longer seemed quite as essential to have a friendly government in Kabul anymore.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M_pp._647-53">[53]</a> By this time, the British had vacated the fortress of <a href="/wiki/Bala_Hissar,_Kabul" title="Bala Hissar, Kabul">Bala Hissar</a> and relocated to a <a href="/wiki/Cantonment" title="Cantonment">cantonment</a> built to the northeast of Kabul. The chosen location was indefensible, being low and swampy with hills on every side. To make matters worse, the cantonment was too large for the number of troops camped in it and had a defensive perimeter almost two miles long. In addition, the stores and supplies were in a separate fort, 300 yards from the main cantonment.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> The British commander, Major-General George Keith Ephinstone who arrived in April 1841 was bed-ridden most of the time with gout and rheumatism.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> Between April and October 1841, disaffected Afghan tribes were flocking to support resistance against the British in Bamiyan and other areas north of the <a href="/wiki/Hindu_Kush" title="Hindu Kush">Hindu Kush</a> mountains. They were organised into an effective resistance by chiefs such as <a href="/wiki/Mir_Masjidi_Khan" title="Mir Masjidi Khan">Mir Masjidi Khan</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> and others. In September 1841, Macnaghten reduced the subsidies paid out to Ghilzai tribal chiefs in exchange for accepting Shuja as Emir and to keep the passes open, which immediately led to the Ghazis rebelling and a jihad being proclaimed.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M.E_pp._333-57">[57]</a> The monthly subsidies, which were effectively bribes for the Ghazi chiefs to stay loyal, was reduced from 80,000 to 40,000 rupees at a time of rampant inflation, and as the chiefs' loyalty had been entirely financial, the call of jihad proved stronger.<a href="#cite_note-Yapp,_M.E_pp._333-57">[57]</a> Macnaghten did not take the threat seriously at first, writing to Henry Rawlinson in Kandahar on 7 October 1841: "The Eastern Ghilzyes are kicking up a row about some deductions which have been made from their pay. The rascals have completely succeeded in cutting communications for the time being, which is very provoking to me at this time; but they will be well trounced for their pains. One down, t'other come on, is the principle of these vagabonds".<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._125-58">[58]</a> Macnaghten ordered an expedition. On 10 October 1841, the Ghazis in a night raid defeated the Thirty-fifth Native Infantry, but were defeated the next day by the Thirteenth Light Infantry.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._125-58">[58]</a> After their defeat, which led to the rebels fleeing to the mountains, Macnaghten overplayed his hand by demanding that the chiefs who rebelled now send their children to Shuja's court as hostages to prevent another rebellion.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> As Shuja had a habit of mutilating people who displeased him in the slightest, Macnaghten's demand that the children of the chiefs go to the Emir's court was received with horror, which led the Ghazi chiefs to vow to fight on. Macnaghten, who had just been appointed as the governor of Bombay was torn between a desire to leave Afghanistan on a high note with the country settled and peaceful versus a desire to crush the Ghazis, which led him to temporize, at one moment threatening the harshest reprisals and the next moment, compromising by abandoning his demand for hostages.<a href="#cite_note-:0-60">[60]</a> Macnaghten's alternating policy of confrontation and compromise was perceived as weakness, which encouraged the chiefs around Kabul to start rebelling.<a href="#cite_note-:0-60">[60]</a> Shuja was so unpopular that many of his ministers and the Durrani clan joined the rebellion.<a href="#cite_note-:0-60">[60]</a> On the night of 1 November 1841, a group of Afghan chiefs met at the Kabul house of one of their number to plan the uprising, which began in the morning of the next day.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._125-58">[58]</a> In a flammable situation, the spark was provided unintentionally by the East India Company's second political officer, Sir Alexander 'Sekundar' Burnes. A Kashmiri slave girl who belonged to a Pashtun chief Abdullah Khan Achakzai living in Kabul ran away to Burne's house. When Ackakzai sent his retainers to retrieve her, it was discovered that Burnes had taken the slave girl to his bed, and he had one of Azkakzai's men beaten.<a href="#cite_note-Dalrymple,_William_p._292-61">[61]</a> A secret jirga (council) of Pashtun chiefs was held to discuss this violation of pashtunwali, where Ackakzai holding a Koran in one hand stated: "Now we are justified in throwing this English yoke; they stretch the hand of tyranny to dishonor private citizens great and small: fucking a slave girl isn't worth the ritual bath that follows it: but we have to put a stop right here and now, otherwise these English will ride the donkey of their desires into the field of stupidity, to the point of having all of us arrested and deported to a foreign field".<a href="#cite_note-Dalrymple,_William_p._292-61">[61]</a> At the end of his speech, all of the chiefs shouted "Jihad".<a href="#cite_note-Dalrymple,_William_p._292-61">[61]</a> November 2, 1841 actually fell on 17 Ramadan which was the anniversary date for the battle of Badr. The Afghans decided to strike on this date for reasons of the blessings associated with this auspicious date of 17 Ramadan. The call to jihad was given on the morning of 2 November from the Pul-i-khisti mosque in Kabul<a href="#cite_note-Husain-11">[11]</a> Lady Sale wrote in her diary on 2 November 1841: "This morning early, all was in commotion in Kabul. The shops were plundered and the people all fighting."<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> That same day, a mob "thirsting for blood" appeared outside of the house of the East India Company's second political officer, Sir Alexander 'Sekundar' Burnes, where Burnes ordered his sepoy guards not to fire while he stood outside haranguing the mob in Pashto, attempting unconvincingly to persuade the assembled men that he did not bed their daughters and sisters.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._126-63">[63]</a> Captain William Broadfoot who was with Burnes saw the mob march forward, leading him to open fire with another officer writing in his diary that he "killed five or six men with his own hand before he was shot down".<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._126-63">[63]</a> The mob smashed in to Burnes's house, where he, his brother Charles, their wives and children, several aides and the sepoys were all torn to pieces.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._126-63">[63]</a> The mob then attacked the home of the paymaster Johnston who was not present, leading to later write when he surveyed the remains of his house that they "gained possession of my treasury by undermining the wall...They murdered the whole of the guard (one officer and 28 sepoys), all my servants (male, female, and children), plundered the treasury...burnt all my office records...and possessed themselves of all my private property".<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._126-63">[63]</a> The British forces took no action in response despite being only five minutes away, which encouraged further revolt.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._126-63">[63]</a> The only person who took action that day was Shuja who ordered out one of his regiments from the Bala Hissar commanded by a Scots mercenary named Campbell to crush the riot, but the old city of Kabul with its narrow, twisting streets favored the defenders, with Campbell's men coming under fire from rebels in the houses above.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> After losing about 200 men killed, Campbell retreated back to the Bala Hissar.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._127-65">[65]</a> After hearing of the defeat of his regiment, Shuja descended into what Kaye called "a pitiable state of dejection and alarm", sinking into a deep state of depression as it finally dawned on him that his people hated him and wanted to see him dead.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._127-65">[65]</a> Captain Sturt was sent to the Bala Hissar by Elphinstone to see if it were possible to recover control of the city later that afternoon, where his mother-in-law Lady Sale noted in her diary: "Just as he entered the precincts of the palace, he was stabbed in three places by a young man well dressed, who escaped into a building close-by, where he was protected by the gates being shut."<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._127-65">[65]</a> Sturt was sent home to be cared for by Lady Sale and his wife with the former noting: "He was covered with blood issuing from his mouth and was unable to articulate. He could not lie down, from the blood choking him", only being capable hours later to utter one word: "bet-ter".<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._127-65">[65]</a> Lady Sale was highly critical of Elphinstone's leadership, writing: "General Elphinstone vacillates on every point. His own judgement appears to be good, but he is swayed by the last speaker", criticising him for "...a very strange circumstance that troops were not immediately sent into the city to quell the affair in the commencement, but we seem to sit quietly with our hands folded, and look on".."<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._127-65">[65]</a> Despite both being in the cantonment, Elphinstone preferred to write letters to Macnaghten, with one letter on 2 November saying "I have been considering what can done tomorrow" (he decided to do nothing that day), stating "our dilemma is a difficult one", and finally concluding "We must see what the morning brings".<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> The British situation soon deteriorated when Afghans stormed the poorly defended supply fort inside Kabul on 9 November. In the following weeks, the British commanders tried to negotiate with Akbar Khan. Macnaghten secretly offered to make Akbar Afghanistan's <a href="/wiki/Vizier" title="Vizier">vizier</a> in exchange for allowing the British to stay, while simultaneously disbursing large sums of money to have him assassinated, which was reported to Akbar Khan.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] A meeting for direct negotiations between Macnaghten and Akbar was held near the cantonment on 23 December, but Macnaghten and the three officers accompanying him were seized and slain by Akbar Khan. Macnaghten's body was dragged through the streets of Kabul and displayed in the bazaar.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Elphinstone had partly lost command of his troops already and his authority was badly damaged. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Destruction_of_Elphinstone's_army">Destruction of Elphinstone's army</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=First_Anglo-Afghan_War&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Destruction of Elphinstone's army">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/1842_retreat_from_Kabul" title="1842 retreat from Kabul">1842 retreat from Kabul</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg/350px-Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg" decoding="async" width="350" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg/525px-Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg/700px-Remnants_of_an_army2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2180" data-file-height="1245" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Remnants_of_an_Army" title="Remnants of an Army">Remnants of an Army</a> by <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Thompson" title="Elizabeth Thompson">Elizabeth Butler</a> depicting the arrival of assistant surgeon, <a href="/wiki/William_Brydon" title="William Brydon">William Brydon</a>, at <a href="/wiki/Jalalabad" title="Jalalabad">Jalalabad</a> on 13 January 1842</figcaption></figure> On 1 January 1842, following some unusual thinking by Major-General <a href="/wiki/William_George_Keith_Elphinstone" title="William George Keith Elphinstone">William George Keith Elphinstone</a>, which may have had something to do with the poor defensibility of the cantonment, an agreement was reached that provided for the safe exodus of the British garrison and its dependents from Afghanistan.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Five days later, the withdrawal began. The departing British contingent numbered around 16,500, of which about 4,500 were military personnel, and over 12,000 were <a href="/wiki/Camp_follower" title="Camp follower">camp followers</a>.

They were attacked by Ghilzai warriors as they struggled through the snowbound passes. On the first day, the retreating force made only five miles and as Lady Sale wrote about their arrival at a village of Begramee: "There were no tents, save two or three small palls that arrived. Everyone scraped away the snow as best they might, to make a place to lie down. The evening and night were intensely cold; no food for man or beast procurable, except a few handfuls of bhoosay [chopped stew], for which we had to pay five to ten rupees".<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._134-69">[69]</a> As the night fell and with it, the temperature, dropped well below freezing. The retreating force then learned that they lost all of their supplies of food and their baggage.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> On the second day all of the men of the Royal Afghan Army's 6th regiment deserted, heading back to Kabul, marking the end of the first attempt to give Afghanistan a national army.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._134-69">[69]</a> For several months afterwards, what had once been Shuja's army was reduced to begging on the streets of Kabul as Akbar had of all of Shuja's mercenaries mutilated before throwing them on the streets to beg.<a

with a spirited bayonet charge by the 44th Foot.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._134-69">[69]</a> While trying to cross the Koord-Kabual pass in the Hindu Kush that was described as five miles long

they would not be harmed, and said that otherwise his tribesmen would show no mercy and kill all the women and children.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._135-72">[72]</a> One of the British officers sent to negotiate with Akbar heard him say to his tribesmen in Dari (Afghan Farsi) – a language spoken by many British officers – to "spare" the British while saying in Pashto, which most British officers did not speak, to "slay them all".<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> Lady Sale, her pregnant daughter Alexandria and the rest of British women and children accepted Akbar's offer of safe conduct back to Kabul.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._135-72">[72]</a> As the East India Company would not pay a ransom for Indian women and children, Akbar refused to accept them, and so the Indian women and children died with the rest of the force in the Hindu Kush.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._136-74">[74]</a> The camp followers captured by the Afghans were stripped of all their clothing and left to freeze to death in the snow.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> Lady Sale wrote that as she was taken back to Kabul she noticed: "The road was covered with awful mangled bodies, all naked".<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> In the early morning of 10 January, the column resumed its march, with everyone tired, hungry, and cold.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._136-74">[74]</a> Most of the sepoys by this time had lost a finger or two to frostbite, and could not fire their guns.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> At the narrow pass of Tunghee Tareekee, which was 50 yards long, and only 4 yards wide, the Ghizye tribesmen ambushed the column, killing without mercy all of the camp followers. The Anglo-Indian soldiers fought their way over the corpses of the camp followers with heavy losses to themselves.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._136-74">[74]</a> From a hill, Akbar Khan and his chiefs watched the slaughter while sitting on their horses, being apparently very much amused by the carnage.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._136-74">[74]</a> Captain Shelton and a few soldiers from the 44th regiment held the rear of the column and fought off successive Afghan attacks, despite being outnumbered.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._136-74">[74]</a> Johnson described Shelton as fighting like a "bulldog" with his sword, cutting down any Afghan who tried to take him on so efficiently that by the end of the day no Afghan would challenge him.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> On the evening of 11 January 1842, General Elphinstone, Captain Shelton, the paymaster Johnston, and Captain Skinner met with Akbar Khan to ask him to stop his attacks on the column.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._137-81">[81]</a> Akbar Khan provided them with warm tea and a fine meal before telling them that they were all now his hostages as he reckoned the East India Company would pay good ransoms for their freedom, and when Captain Skinner tried to resist, he was shot in the face.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._137-81">[81]</a> Command now fell to Brigadier Thomas Anquetil.<a href="#cite_note-Perry,_James_p._137-81">[81]</a> The evacuees were killed in huge numbers as they made their way down the 30 miles (48 km) of treacherous gorges and passes lying along the <a href="/wiki/Kabul_River" title="Kabul River">Kabul River</a> between Kabul and <a href="/wiki/Gandamak" title="Gandamak">Gandamak</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Massacre_of_Elphinstone%27s_army" class="mw-redirect" title="Massacre of Elphinstone's army">were massacred</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Gandamak" title="Gandamak">Gandamak</a> pass before a survivor reached the besieged garrison at <a href="/wiki/Jalalabad" title="Jalalabad">Jalalabad</a>.

The ground was frozen, the men had no shelter and had little food for weeks. Of the weapons remaining to the survivors at Gandamak, there were approximately a dozen working muskets, the officers' pistols, and a few swords. The British formed a square and defeated the first couple of the Afghan attacks, "driving the Afghans several times down the hill" before running out of ammunition. They then fought on with their bayonets and swords before being overwhelmed.<a href="#cite_note-Dalrymple,_William_p._385-82">[82]</a> The Afghans took only 9 prisoners and killed the rest.<a href="#cite_note-Dalrymple,_William_p._385-82">[82]</a> The remnants of the 44th were all killed except Captain James Souter, Sergeant Fair, and seven soldiers who were taken prisoner.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> The only soldier to reach Jalalabad was Dr. <a href="/wiki/William_Brydon" title="William Brydon">William Brydon</a> and several sepoys over the following nights.

These were at Kandahar (where the largest British force in the country had been stationed), <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Jellalabad" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Jellalabad">Jalalabad</a> (held by a force which had been sent from Kabul in October 1841 as the first stage of a planned withdrawal) and Ghazni. Ghazni was stormed, but the other garrisons held out until relief forces arrived from India, in spring 1842. Akbar Khan was defeated near Jalalabad and plans were laid for the recapture of Kabul and the restoration of British control. However, Lord Auckland had suffered a <a href="/wiki/Stroke" title="Stroke">stroke</a> and had been replaced as governor-general by <a href="/wiki/Edward_Law,_1st_Earl_of_Ellenborough" title="Edward Law, 1st Earl of Ellenborough">Lord Ellenborough</a>, who was under instructions to bring the war to an end following a change of government in Britain. Ellenborough ordered the forces at Kandahar and Jalalabad to leave Afghanistan after inflicting reprisals and securing the release of prisoners taken during the retreat from Kabul. In August 1842 <a href="/wiki/William_Nott_(British_general)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Nott (British general)">General William Nott</a> advanced from Kandahar, capturing Ghazni and partially demolishing the city's fortifications.

From Jalalabad, General Pollock inflicted a further crushing defeat on Akbar Khan. As the expedition advanced through Afghanistan, they bore witness to the countless dead comrades who perished following the retreat from Kabul. This enraged the British who took revenge on Afghan civilians by razing villages, murdering men and raping women. <a href="/wiki/Neville_Bowles_Chamberlain" title="Neville Bowles Chamberlain">Neville Bowles Chamberlain</a> described the killings as "truly wicked."<a href="#cite_note-king-36">[36]</a> The combined British forces defeated all opposition before <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Kabul_(1842)" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Kabul (1842)">taking Kabul</a> in September.

Dost Muhammad was released and re-established his authority in Kabul. He died on 9 June 1863. During his lifetime no Russian mission was established in Afghanistan. Dost Mohammad is reported to have said: <blockquote>I have been struck by the magnitude of your resources, your ships, your arsenals, but what I cannot understand is why the rulers of so vast and flourishing an empire should have gone across the Indus to deprive me of my poor and barren country.<a href="#cite_note-ewans2002-84">[84]</a></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=First_Anglo-Afghan_War&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Aftermath">edit</a>]</div> Many voices in Britain, from <a href="/wiki/George_Hamilton-Gordon,_4th_Earl_of_Aberdeen" title="George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen">Lord Aberdeen</a><a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> to <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Disraeli" title="Benjamin Disraeli">Benjamin Disraeli</a>, had criticized the war as rash and insensate.
