Countries are entitled to their own individualized feelings regarding situations involving control, but what is troubling is that there is overwhelming influence that can affect a single state. It may be difficult for them because control requires rigorous and reckless decision making towards innocent people trying to live their lives. At the beginning of the 20th century, Britain saw no need to join the entente with France and Russia. This was the beginning of many problems that arose during this period. The Anglo-Russian convention was only an agreement to prevent any conflict in Persia, Afghanistan and Tibet, but both sides thought they deserved it for European authority, regaining the respect and terror of the emerging Germany. Towards the end of the 19th century, Russia's position vis-à-vis Great Britain became increasingly stronger. With the capabilities and success in conquering most of Central Asia, the Russians extended their authority to Manchuria and Korea, which annoyed Japan and British curiosities with China. Japan's victory against Russia reassured the British that Russia did not pose as much of a threat as they had initially thought. At the same time a number of British politicians had developed a deep fear of Germany. The Anglo-Russian agreement of 1907 explains and determines the overwhelming concern regarding Persia, Afghanistan and Tibet in the eyes of the two warring nations, Russia and England. It was signed on August 31 of the same year, in St. Petersburg, Russia.
