Afghanistan was created in the 18th century by Ahmad Shah Durrani and has a long history dating back to Alexander the Great and Buddha. The terrain is mostly rugged mountains but also includes plains, and the climate is arid to semi-arid with cold winters and hot summers. After years of war, millions of landmines were buried and international agencies are working to help de-mine the land.
