| What were the causes and consequences of the Soviet-Afghan War, and how did it influence global politics? This book examines the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989), a conflict in which the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan to support the communist government against insurgent forces, including the Mujahideen. The narrative explores the geopolitical context of the Cold War, highlighting the Soviet Union’s motivations for intervening in Afghanistan and the role of the United States and Pakistan in supporting the Afghan resistance. It also covers the major battles and strategies employed by both sides, and the role of guerilla warfare in the conflict. By analyzing the war’s consequences, the book discusses the lasting impact on Afghanistan, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and how the war influenced global politics, including the rise of terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism in the region. |
