Map of “British India and Adjacent Countries,” from L.R. Blaich's Three Industrial Nations. The map depicts the outline of British controlled India and its neighbors in the region. It shows Nepal, Bhutan, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the Chinese Republic, Siam (Thailand), Laos, Afghanistan, and Persia (Iran). British India consisted of the modern nations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Britain also controlled Ceylon and Afghanistan, but they were not a part of British India. Persia and Tibet were not under British control, but it did exert economic influence in these nations and used them as a buffer between India and the Russian Empire, (1915).
