Afghan-Persian Wars

The Afghan-Persian Wars refer to a series of conflicts between Afghanistan and Persia (modern-day Iran) primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These wars were driven by territorial disputes, regional influence, and political rivalry as both empires sought to expand their control in Central Asia. Key battles occurred along their shared border, particularly in regions like Herat. The conflicts contributed to shifting borders and increased tensions, ultimately influencing the modern boundaries and relations between Afghanistan and Iran. The wars highlight the broader struggle for dominance and influence in the region during that era.
