The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The two colonial empires used military interventions and diplomatic negotiations to acquire and redefine territories in Central and South Asia.
- Russia conquered Turkestan, and Britain expanded and set the borders of British India.
- By the early 20th century, a line of independent states, tribes, and monarchies from the shore of the Caspian Sea to the Eastern Himalayas were made into protectorates and territories of the two empires.
