作为古代中西交通要冲的帕米尔具有重要的战略地位。近代以来,英俄出于各自扩张需要,对帕米尔展开了一系列争夺。1865年英俄利用新疆变乱乘机侵占帕米尔,1873年英俄抛开中国政府签订了划分双方在帕米尔势力范围的协议,但1877年清朝军队收复新疆打破了英俄侵占帕米尔的计划。由于利益的不同,英俄就遵守还是修改1873年协议进行了较量,最后通过1887年协议,双方暂时达成妥协。然而,坎巨提危机的出现使中英俄三方再次聚焦中国帕米尔。 Pamir, which plays an important role in ancient Chinese and Western traffic, has an important strategic position. Since modern times, Britain and Russia have started a series of contentions for Pamir for their respective expansion needs. In 1865, Britain and Russia took advantage of the chaos in Xinjiang to occupy Pamir. In 1873, Britain and Russia aside the Chinese government and signed an agreement to divide the two sides in the Pamir sphere of influence. However, in 1877, the Qing troops recaptured Xinjiang and broke the plan of encroaching Pamir by Britain and Russia. Because of their different interests, Britain and Russia held a contest on whether to abide by or amend the 1873 agreement. Finally, through the 1887 agreement, the two sides reached a compromise for the time being. However, the emergence of the crisis in Khamti brought the three parties in China, Britain and Russia once again to focus on China’s Pamir.
