The Afghan Boundary Commission (or Joint Anglo-Russian Boundary Commission) was a joint effort by Great Britain and the Russian Empire to determine the northern border of Afghanistan, in the wake of the Panjdeh Incident.〔Holdich, Thomas. Thomas Holdich served as a cartographer.''(Preliminary Map of the Routes Followed by the Members of the Afghan Boundary Commission ).'' 1885, via World Digital Library.〕 The Boundary Commission traveled and documented the northern border area during 1884, 1885, and 1886.〔Yate, Charles Edward. ''(Northern Afghanistan; Or, Letters from the Afghan Boundary Commission )'' Edinburgh & London: W. Blackwood & Sons, 1888.〕〔Yate, Arthur Campbell. ''(England and Russia Face to Face in Asia; Travels with the Afghan Boundary Commission. )'' Edinburgh: W. Blackwood, 1887.〕 Without any Afghan say in the matter, between 1885 and 1888 the Afghan Boundary Commission agreed the Russians would relinquish the farthest territory captured in their military advances, but retain Panjdeh. The agreement delineated a permanent northern Afghan frontier at the Amu Darya, with the loss of a large amount of territory, especially around Panjdeh.〔(International Boundary Study of the Afghanistan-USSR Boundary (1983) ) by the US Bureau of Intelligence and Research〕 A series of letters compiled by Charles Edward Yate "describe the sojourn of the British Commission around Herat during the summer of 1885; the subsequent meeting of the joint British and Russian Commissions in November of that year, and the progress of the demarcation of the frontier up to the time of their separation in September 1886 ; the return of the British Commission through Kabul to India in October 1886 ; the negotiations at St. Petersburg during the summer of 1887; the final settlement and demarcation of the frontier during the winter of 1887, and return through Russian Trans-Caspian territory in February 1888.〔 == See also == *Panjdeh Incident *British-Russian rivalry in Afghanistan *European influence in Afghanistan *Durand Line 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afghan Boundary Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
