 Afghanistan Country Study
The first important frontier dispute was the Panjdeh crisis of 1885, brought on by Russian advances in Central Asia.
There were conflicting claims to the Panjdeh Oasis, but the Russians were keen to take over all the Turkomen domains of this area before a planned Russian-British border commission could meet to decide on the border.
The British urged the Russians not to attack the Panjdeh area, but they worded their warning against an attack on Herat so much more strongly that the Russians were apparently left in doubt about what the British would do if they attacked Panjdeh.

 WHAT
In 1886 a Russian army fresh from its conquest of the Oasis of Merv, in today’s Turkmenistan, occupied the Panjdeh Oasis near Herat.
After the Panjdeh incident a joint Anglo-Russian boundary commission, without any Afghan participation, fixed the Afghan border with Turkestan, which was the whole of Russian Central Asia, now Kirghizistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Thus as a consequence of the competition between Britain and Russia, a new country, the Afghanistan we know today, was created to serve as the buffer.

This was totally unacceptable to the British because apparently, the Russian threat in the region had not diminished in any way since the Panjdeh affair in 1885.
The last straw on the back of the camel of British patience came in the form of Maharaja's stand on Indian Independence at the Round Table Conference in 1930.

Mutual mistrust, especially after March, 1885 when Russian troops took the Afghan fort of Panjdeh north of Herat, led to the acceptance of Afghanistan as a buffer state.
For strength and protection against further Russian advances the Amir also accepted subsidies from the British in return for which they continued to control his foreign affairs.
