Afghanistan Time and Date Afghanistan History Back to Top Afghanistan's History, internal political development, foreign relations, and very existence as an independent state have largely been determined by its geographic location at the crossroads of Central, West, and South Asia. Over the centuries, waves of migrating peoples passed through the regiondescribed as a "roundabout of the ancient world," by historian Arnold Toynbeeleaving behind a mosaic of ethnic and linguistic groups. In modern times, as well as in antiquity, large armies of the world passed through Afghanistan, temporarily establishing local control and often dominating Iran and northern India. Although it was the scene of great empires and flourishing trade for over two millennia, Afghanistan did not become a truly independent nation until the twentieth century. The area's miscellaneous groups were not bound into a single political entity until the reign of Ahmad Shah Durrani, who in 1747 founded the monarchy that governed the nation until 1973. In the nineteenth century, Afghanistan lay between the expanding might of the Russian and British empires. In 1900, Abdur Rahman Khan, looking back on his twenty years of rule and the events of the past century, wondered how his nation, Islam played a key role in the formation of Afghan history as well. Contempt the Mongol invasion of Afghanistan in the early thirteenth century which has been described as resembling "more some brute cataclysm of the blind forces of nature than a phenomenon of human history," even a warrior as formidable as Genghis Khan did not uproot Islamic civilization, and within two generations his heirs had become Muslims.

Weapons of Mass Destruction STATE -SPONSORED TERRORISM Afghanistan History History Located just northwest of the modern day India, Afghanistan has long served as the northwestern border and gateway for the Indian civilization. Various Indian emperors have ruled the region over the last 3,000 years and its close relations with the rest of India have been well documented by historians. The Hindukush Mountains in the west and Himalayas in the north and northeast served as the borders for India; Afghanistan was an integral part of the Indian kingdoms at various times during its history. In the fourth century B.C.E., Taxila and Kandahar formed important centers of commerce and education for the empire of Ashoka the Great. In fact, Taxila was one of the first universities to be founded in India. In those days, the entire region of today's Afghanistan and northern Pakistan was called Gandhar, after which an important stream of Indian art painting and sculptures has been named. The area was also an important center for Buddhism in its early days and several ancient statues of Buddha and other artifacts of Buddhism are still found in the region.

Festivals and holidays History Afghanistan remained an absolute monarchy until 1922, when a state assembly and legislature were organised and ministers were appointed to a cabinet under the presidency of King Amanullah Khan (1919-1929). Constitutions affording ever-increasing freedoms were written in 1923, 1931 and 1964. However, the more western ideals of Amanullah Khan and his successor Zahir Shah threatened the power of religious leaders, giving rise to armed resistance. In 1973 the monarchy was overthrown and a pro-communist secular administration set up under Mohammed Daoud. This was followed in 1979 by a Russian invasion in support of the beleaguered government. Factional fighting continued after the Russian withdrawal in 1989 and in 1996 a group of Islamic ethnic Pashtun fighters known as the Taliban seized control of Kabul, implementing their own harsh interpretation of Islamic law and conduct.

WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. THE SOVIET WAR IN AFGHANISTAN: HISTORY AND HARBINGER OF FUTURE WAR? General (Ret) Mohammad Yahya Nawroz, Army of Afghanistan and Mr. Lester W. Grau Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared originally in Military Review September/October 1995 Soviet military power meets the Afghan warrior society Fifteen years after its commencement and five years after its cessation, the Soviet-Afghan War remains an enigma in the West. Earlier successful Soviet military interventions in the Ukraine (1945-1951), East Germany (1953), Hungary (1956), and Czechoslovakia (1968) and intermittent Soviet military pressure on Poland demonstrated that the stark military power of the Soviet state was an irresistible tool of Soviet political power. The West was thankful that nuclear deterrence maintained the Cold War balance and reluctantly accepted Soviet intervention within its socialist commonwealth and in the Soviet border regions as one cost of that balance. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a repeat of their invasion of Czechoslovakia. For months after the invasion, hardly a political or military expert in the world doubted that Afghanistan was now forever incorporated as a part of the Soviet Empire and that nothing short of a large-scale global war could alter the status quo. And global war was most unlikely as both super powers intended to avoid it. Some Westerners recalled the British experiences in Afghanistan and waited for a Soviet "Vietnam" to emerge, but most Westerners believed that the Soviets would ultimately prevail. Some even projected their European fears to southern Asia and envisioned a bold Soviet strategic thrust from southern Afghanistan to the shores of the Persian Gulf, to challenge Western strategic interests and disrupt Western access to critical Middle Eastern oil.

A chronology of key events in Afghanistan history: One of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. (AP photo) 329-326 BCE - Alexander the Great invades Afghanistan. Alexander moved his Macedonian troops over the Hindu Kush into Afghanistan. During the grueling journey, his starving men were forced to eat their pack animals. Afghanistan at that time was composed of satrapies, or provinces, in the Achaemenian Kingdom. Alexander conquered the Achaemenians and most of the Afghan satrapies including Aria (in the region of modern Herat), Bactria (Balkh), Sattagydia (Ghazni), Arachosia (Kandahar), and Drangiana (Seistan). But as soon as he left for India in 327 B.C., Alexander felt his hold on the region slip away as many of the satrapies revolted. After his death in 323 B.C.E., the satrapies passed to the Seleucid Empire. 135 BCE-241 AD - Kushans conquer Bactria. Kushan nomads living in central Asia swooped into Northern Afghanistan and conquered Bactria.It was under the Kushan ruler Kanishka (circa. 130 BCE) that Buddhism started to flourish in the region. 300 - 400 AD - Buddhas of Bamiyan built.

In 1979 the Soviet Union intervened militarily to support a government that was seeking to modernize while being threatened by Islamic guerilla activity. The U.S. and other nations provided support to the anti-government guerillas, which included Osama Bin Laden and his followers. U.S. leaders today are blaming Bin Laden for the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. The Reagan-Bush team and their allies in Congress saw the struggle only in Cold War terms of communism versus anticommunism. They were willing to support Bin Laden and other Islamic extremists because they were useful allies against the USSR, seen by the Islamics as a land of "Western infidels."
