Anglo-Russian Entente (31 Aug. 1907) An agreement between the UK and Russia, which sought to settle disputed questions between the two countries regarding their interests in areas affecting India. Russia agreed that Afghanistan was a British sphere of interest; Tibet was recognized as neutral; Persia was divided into three zones, the northern Russian sphere being separated from the southern British zone by a neutral area. The agreement settled long-standing differences between the two countries, and Britain had made its vital Indian interests more secure by making concessions in less important areas. Since France had already concluded an alliance in 1894, the Entente paved the way for the eventual alliance against Germany which emerged in World War I.
