Little about Afghanistan!25The Historical PerspectiveAfghanistan (which literally means Land of the Afghan) is a mountainous landlocked country located in central Asia; north and west of Pakistan, east of Iran. Slightly smaller than the size of Texas, Afghanistan has had a rich past that dates back to the 6th century B.C. Once the meeting point of Chinese, Indian and European civilizations, the region attracted conquerors such as Alexander the Great in 330 B.C. and the great Mongol leader Genghis Khan in 1220 A.D. In the past 30 years, Afghanistan has made headlines worldwide as they have struggled towards the creation of their own national identity.From WWI onwards, Afghanistan’s trade mostly involved the Soviet Union. Additionally, Soviet foreign aid to Afghanistan was far more prevalent than assistance from the West. Afghanistan was a constitutional monarchy until 1973, and was a republic thereafter. In 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan and set up a government in Kabul protected with Soviet troops. Outraged, an Islamic jihad (holy war) was called. In order to support the installation and success of an anti-communist regime, the United States helped the Afghan resistance overthrow the Soviets. By the end of the struggle in 1989, more than a million Afghans had died and over 6.2 million people had fled the country.Afghanistan’s tumultuous and extensive history can be witnessed today in the magnificent ancient ruins throughout the country.
