History :

In earlier times, Afghanistan was known as Aryana and Khorasan. Its present-day name dates from its renewed independence in 1747. In that year, the Afghans drove off the last of the Persian rulers and founded their own state. In 1919 the Afghans ended British authority over their country with the third British-Afghan war. Afghanistan became a republic in 1973, abolishing the monarchy. The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was declared on 24th April 1978. Afghanistan was invaded and occupied by the Soviet Union in 1979. The USSR was forced to withdraw 10 years later by anti-communist mujahidin forces supplied and trained by the US, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others. Fighting subsequently continued among the various mujahidin factions, but the fundamentalist Islamic Taliban movement has been able to seize most of the country. In addition to the continuing civil strife, the country suffers from enormous poverty, a crumbling infrastructure, and widespread live mines.
