英俄在土库曼斯坦的争夺

Contending Between England and Russia in Turkmenistan

俄国征服了中亚腹地以后,开始了对土库曼斯坦的征服。英国于19世纪70年代也开始在土库曼斯坦的活动。俄国对土库曼斯坦的征服分两步进行,在武力征服了阿哈尔帖克绿洲之后,用外交手段夺取了莫夫绿洲。英国在土库曼的争夺中处于保守地位。最终,英、俄在牺牲阿富汗国家利益的情况下,将阿富汗作为缓冲地带,避免了英俄的直接战争。

After having conquered the interior of Central Asia, Russia began to attack Turkmenistan. England also started activities in Turkmenistan in 1970s. Russia acquired Turkmenistan by conquering for two steps. After having taken Ahaltic oasis with force, Russia got Merv oasis in a diplomatic method. England was on a conservative position in the contest for Turkmenistan. Finally, for avoiding the direct war England and Russia made Afghan as a buffer zone, at the expense of Afghang national interest.
