The three Afghan wars and the Panjdeh incident were mainly related to "The Great Game" a term coined by a 19th intelligence officer for the clash between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for influence in Central Asia. Afghanistan was seen as a cause of trouble in its own right with border disputes and incursions and as a necessary buffer state between British India and the Russians. The first war with Burma was fought again over border disputes and territorial integrity with an expanding Burmese state. This changed in later years to one of acquisition of Burma into what was known as the British Raj as similar to the competition with Russia, Burma was seen as moving closer or being taken over by the French who were in Laos.

How did the Burma war happen?
The Burma War, commonly referred to as the Anglo-Burmese Wars, began in the early 19th century due to rising tensions between British India and the Kingdom of Burma over trade disputes and territorial ambitions. The first war (1824-1826) was sparked by conflicts over trade routes and territorial encroachments, leading to British annexation of significant portions of Burmese territory. Subsequent wars in 1852 and 1885 further solidified British control, ultimately resulting in Burma becoming a province of British India. This series of conflicts marked the beginning of colonial rule in Burma, deeply impacting its social and political landscape.
