Treaty of Rawalpindi

The Treaty of Rawalpindi, signed in 1919, marked the end of the Third Anglo-Afghan War between Britain and Afghanistan. Following the war, the treaty recognized Afghanistan's independence and established its borders, with Britain relinquishing control over Afghan affairs, except in matters of foreign policy. This agreement was significant as it allowed Afghanistan to assert its sovereignty and navigate its national interests independently, while also redefining the relationship between British India and Afghanistan. The treaty reflected the shifting dynamics of power in the region following World War I.
