Durand Agreement

The Durand Agreement, signed in 1893, was an agreement between Afghanistan and British India (now India and Pakistan) that defined their border, known as the Durand Line. It aimed to establish clear territorial boundaries and reduce conflict, particularly in the region of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. While it helped demarcate borders for administrative purposes, Afghanistan never fully accepted the boundary as official, leading to ongoing disputes. Essentially, it was an attempt to create a formal border, but its legitimacy remains contested, impacting regional relations even today.
