This paper challenges the traditional telling of the creation of the Afghan borders during the reign of Emir Abdul Rahman Khan (1880-1901). Traditionally the story is one of the British and Russians forcing modern borders on Afghanistan as part of the "Great Game," taking over Afghan territory in the process. This is not true; however, the Afghan government used various tools to shape its own borders. Emir Rahman Khan wanted these borders for a variety of reasons. These included: defending his lands from Russian expansion, limiting British influence in his country, and increasing the power of his own government, although historically, Afghanistan had a decentralized power structure. The Emir, however, did not get all of what he considered his through Afghanistan agreements with the British. Specifically, the British gained control over a territory called yaghistan. However, this control was only surface deep, for the Afghan Emir had religious and historical connections that he could use to influence the Pashtun population on the British side of the border. This created in the British a feeling of being "strangers in a strange" land, having only a surface level of control over a territory they did not truly rule.
