Russia
Because Britain was defeated by France in 1807 by the French, the OTL Great Game never happened. Without Britain, Russia expanded in Central Asia. The nation of Sikhia, which was founded by retreating British colonists, looked at this with concern. They were afraid that Russia woud soon invade India. To stop this the Sikh-Russian War happened in 1856. The war, which ended in 1858, resulted in a Sikh pyrrhic victory. Sikhia survived but the nation was destroyed. Russia's march into Central Asia was stopped.
