Brief History of Afghanistan | Why Afghanistan Is Impossible to Conquer

Показать описание

There has always been conflict between the world's superpowers over Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been invaded several times but in vain. Why is Afghanistan now referred to be the "Graveyard of Empires" and how has it managed to withstand all these conquests? Dictatorship, monarchy, constitutional monarchy, and everything in between have all existed in Afghanistan. What is the cause of Afghanistan's convoluted political situation? And why is a country that was once a significant trading route now struggling to survive?

Hari Singh Nalwa was one of the most trustworthy commanders in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army. He was the Governor of Kashmir, Hazara and Peshawar. Nalwa shot to fame after defeating the Afghans and establishing control over various regions along the boundary of Afghanistan.

It is not impossible to conquer Afghanistan but it is very difficult to stay and rule Afghanistan. For example Read about man singh conquest of Afghanistan where he defeated afghan tribes and made it a part of mughal empire

Let’s start with the British in Afghanistan. The British Empire did not lose power at all when it lost in Afghanistan. It persisted on as a world power for close to a century afterwards.

The British lost to the Afghans in the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839 – 1842). The war began with a British invasion with the Great Army of the Indus. The army was extremely effective and managed to take over Afghanistan quite easily. Emir Dost Muhammad Khan of Afghanistan was defeated and removed from power. He would continue to wage a guerrilla war against the occupying force. The Barakzai Dynasty was removed from power. Shah Shujah of the Durrani Dynasty was placed on the throne. Soon afterwards, the majority of the Army of the Indus would leave. A small force was left behind in Kabul. The Afghans would continue resistance against the British and finally drive them out in 1842. This is when the infamous retreat from Kabul took place, where the British forces were massacred. This is considered as the great defeat of the British in Afghanistan. However, this defeat harmed the image of the British Empire more than anything else. In terms of men and equipment lost, the damage was negligible. The British Empire did not begin to break down after the loss in the First Anglo-Afghan War. It remained as a superpower for close to a century afterwards. Even the British military power was unfazed, other than the reputation. I would hardly call that an empire breaking apart.

Let’s also not forget that the British invaded Afghanistan once again in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878 – 1880) and achieved great success. They defeated the Afghan armies and took control of Afghanistan. The Afghans were forced to sign the Treaty of Gandamak, which was completely in favor of the British. The Afghans ceded control over territory, they lost autonomy and became a British protectorate. The British even picked which king would be placed on the throne in Kabul (Emir Abdur Rahman Khan).

The effect of the loss in the First Anglo-Afghan War on the British Empire and its military has been greatly exaggerated. It has resulted in myths such as the one mentioned in the question above. The British Empire did not break apart following the loss in Afghanistan. The British Empire fell apart as a result of the two World Wars, more so than anything else. The loss in Afghanistan had no real impact on the overall stability of the British Empire.

The British did not lose power after losing in Afghanistan. Nor did the British Empire break apart. It persisted as a world power for about a century afterwards. Afghanistan did not actually do any real damage to the wealth, power and stability of the British Empire. It did hurt its reputation. I would not be surprised if the British themselves were not responsible for creating the myth of an unconquerable Afghanistan, just to justify their loss in the First Anglo-Afghan War.
