About Afghanistan War

The Afghanistan War was a prolonged and complex conflict that began in 2001, following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. It involved a multinational coalition led by the U.S., aiming to dismantle the Taliban regime and eliminate terrorist networks, particularly Al-Qaeda. Over the course of two decades, the war saw numerous military operations, nation-building efforts, and political shifts. The conflict significantly reshaped Afghanistan’s political and social landscape, impacting millions of civilians. Despite efforts to establish a stable government, the Taliban gradually regained strength, culminating in their takeover in 2021. The war remains a pivotal chapter in modern history, reflecting the challenges of counterinsurgency warfare, foreign intervention, and nation-building in a volatile region.
