Kingdom of Afghanistan

The Kingdom of Afghanistan was a monarchy that existed from 1926 until 1973, with a king as its head of state. It combined traditional cultural elements with efforts at modernization, including changes in education and infrastructure. The government was supported by some traditional tribal leaders, but the country also faced internal conflicts and external pressures. In 1973, a coup ended the monarchy, leading to the establishment of a republic. The period marked times of cultural change and political instability, reflecting Afghanistan’s diverse society and complex history.
