Democratic People's Republic of Afghanistan

The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was a socialist government established in 1978 after a coup, aligned with the Soviet Union. It aimed to implement communist policies, improve education, and promote economic development. However, it faced significant resistance from conservative rural groups and various factions, leading to internal conflict and a prolonged civil war. The government received military and economic support from the USSR, but instability persisted. This regime lasted until 1992, when it collapsed amid ongoing violence and the rise of different factions seeking control, ultimately leading to the country's complex and turbulent modern history.
