© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Disputes over Afghanistan’s eastern border with British India (part of which became the independent state of Pakistan) persisted until the 1970s.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. During that period, Afghanistan had a cosmopolitan young king named Zahir Shah.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. He tried to modernize the Afghan economy...

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. But, especially outside the capital, Kabul, most Afghans led highly traditional lives.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Then, in 1978, Communists unhappy with the pace and scope of the king’s reforms seized power in Afghanistan.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Islamic leaders called on Afghan citizens to oppose the country’s new communist government.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Late in 1979, the Soviet Union sent troops into Afghanistan to prevent the collapse of Communism.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The Soviet troops met fierce resistance from Afghan guerrillas, or mujahideen (Islamic warriors).

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans died at the hands of Soviet troops, and millions more fled to Pakistan and Iran.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. However, during the Soviet occupation, Afghan women continued to enjoy rights comparable to men’s.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The United States supported the anti-communist mujahideen, who were now recruiting Muslim fighters from all over the world.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The mujahideen made life very difficult for the Soviet troops, who eventually withdrew in 1988–89.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. But, after the Soviets left, Afghans could not agree on how to share power. A highly destructive civil war raged throughout most of the 1990s.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The Afghan people, including hundreds of thousands of refugees who had returned from Pakistan and Iran, continued to suffer.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Support rose for a new group of mujahideen who seemed capable of restoring order to such a troubled situation.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. This group, consisting mostly of militant Islamists, was the Taliban. Taliban fighters won a series of battles in the mid 1990s, putting them in control of most of Afghanistan.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Taliban ministers restored order by enforcing their radical and extremely brutal interpretation of Islamic law, or sharia.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. They imposed dramatic restrictions on women’s behavior, forcing them to wear the all-covering burqa.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Meanwhile, the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, befriended and offered his government’s protection to Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Bin Laden, a veteran of the campaign against the Soviets, set up terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and organized a series of attacks against U.S. interests.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The most destructive of these occurred on September 11, 2001.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. After the Taliban ignored requests to hand over bin Laden, the United States led an international military coalition against Afghanistan.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. The multi-national coalition helped the Northern Alliance, a group of Afghan fighters opposed to the Taliban, recapture Kabul and all of Afghanistan’s other major cities.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. But bin Laden and several senior Taliban ministers escaped via the Tora Bora caves in eastern Afghanistan.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Even so, at the end of 2001, new Afghan president Hamid Karzai said he could see “the sun rising” on his country.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Restrictions on women’s behavior were eased,

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. multi-national forces trained new recruits to the Afghan national army,

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. and millions of Afghans voted in democratic elections.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. But not all Afghans supported the reforms or accepted the continued presence of foreign troops.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Taliban militants and their sympathizers launched a series of attacks, including suicide bombings, against international troops and the Afghan government.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. Much of the militants’ funding comes from poppies, which are used to manufacture heroin.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. International troops remain in Afghanistan, trying to eradicate the drug trade and help the Afghan national army defeat resurgent Taliban forces.

© 2007 ProQuest-CSA LLC. All rights reserved. © 2007 Getty Images, Inc. However, with much of Afghanistan still in ruins from years of war and with few farmers willing to stop growing poppies, the troops face a monumentally difficult task.
