The author reveals some little-known facts from the history of political confrontation between Great Britain and Afghanistan, reconstructs the events that preceded the visit of the British diplomatic mission to Kabul in October-November 1904, and herein lies scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is proved that the British foreign policy was aimed to broaden the British military presence in Afghanistan with a view to achieve full control over the country.
