In the Middle East, the major powers adjacent to the British Empire included the Ottoman Empire, which controlled much of the region until its dissolution after World War I, and France, which had significant influence in areas like Lebanon and Syria. In the Indian subcontinent, the primary rival was Russia, particularly during the Great Game in the 19th century, as both empires sought to expand their influence in Central Asia. Additionally, local kingdoms and emerging nationalist movements posed challenges to British dominance in both regions.
