    Extractions: Afghanistan history is a complex meeting of numerous culture groups. Afghanistan first appeared in history in the 6th century BC when it was introduced into the Persian Empire of the Achaemenids. It has been invaded in subsequent succession by many foreign nations, but no-one could ever colonize the country. The area is frequently called "Land of the Free," "Land of the Unruly," "Land of Rebels" and "Land of Insolence" (rudeness, disrespect). The ancient name for the country was Ariana (named after the ancient Aryans who inhabited the area). It had three provinces: Drangia (northern Afghanistan), Arachosia (northeast Afghanistan and Panpamisus (Kabul valley). Later provinces were called Bactria (north), Aria (northwest), and Gandhara (in the Kabul area). During the time of the Persian invasion the area of northern Afghanistan was called Bactria. Afghan tribes united for the first time in 1747 and the country Afghanistan was born. Along with the rest of the Persian Empire, the region was subjugated around 330BC by Alexander the Great. After his death in 323BC, most of the region fell under the dominion of Alexander's general Seleuces I and later under the Indian king, Chandragupta. Later another Greek dynasty established itself in Bactria and founded a state that lasted from 256 BC until 130 BC. The Greco-Bactrian state yielded to Iranian nomads called the Sakas and then to the Kushans, who adopted Buddhism.

    Extractions: Your location is: > Countries > Afghanistan > History Afghanistan, often called the crossroads of Central Asia, has had a turbulent history. In 328 BC, Alexander the Great entered the territory of present-day Afghanistan, then part of the Persian Empire, and established a Hellenistic state in Bactria (present-day Balkh). Invasions by the Scythians, White Huns, and Turks followed in succeeding centuries. In AD 642, Arabs invaded the entire region and introduced Islam. In 1747, Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founder of what is known today as Afghanistan, established his rule. A Pashtun, Durrani was elected king by a tribal council after the assassination of the Persian ruler Nadir Shah at Khabushan in the same year. Throughout his reign, Durrani consolidated chieftainships, petty principalities, and fragmented provinces into one country. His rule extended from Mashad in the west to Kashmir and Delhi in the east, and from the Amu Darya (Oxus) River in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south. European Influence During the 19th century, collision between the expanding British Empire in the subcontinent and czarist Russia significantly influenced Afghanistan in what was termed "The Great Game." British concern over Russian advances in Central Asia and growing influence in Persia precipitated two Anglo-Afghan wars in 1839 and again in 1878. The first resulted in the destruction of a British army. The latter conflict brought Amir Abdur Rahman to the Afghan throne. During his reign (1880-1901), the British and Russians officially established the boundaries of what would become modern Afghanistan through the demarcation of the Durand Line. The British retained effective control over Kabul's foreign affairs.

    Extractions: 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. Expert Afghanistan History Vacation Planning
