Afghan-Sikh Wars

The Afghan-Sikh Wars were a series of conflicts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries between the Sikh Empire and Afghan factions. Tensions arose as both sought control over regions in northern India and Afghanistan, influenced by shifting political alliances and territorial ambitions. These wars involved battles for strategic areas like the Khyber Pass and Punjab, impacting the stability of the region. Ultimately, the British Empire's expansion and influence led to the decline of both Sikh sovereignty and Afghan independence, shaping the political landscape of present-day Pakistan and northern India.
