The Afgahn Revolution

The Afghan Revolution generally refers to a period of political upheaval in Afghanistan, particularly during the late 20th century. It includes the Soviet-backed coup in 1978 that overthrew the monarchy and led to a communist government. This sparked ongoing conflict with resistance groups, resulting in the Soviet invasion in 1979. The war caused widespread instability and suffering. In 1992, the Afghan government was ousted, leading to a power struggle among various factions. The term may also encompass subsequent events like the rise of the Taliban and ongoing efforts for peace. Overall, it reflects Afghanistan's complex history of political change and conflict.
