It didn't happen because of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar who was the main figure who hated Zahir. Just imagine if Zahir did come back after Soviets it would've likely led to an end of war and restoration of monarchy, back to stability. Much like Cambodia did in 1993 after their tumultuous and warring period.

The @#£%ing U.S. lost a perfect opportunity to have a legitimate, democratic government in Afghanistan, you can hardly claim the King of Afghanistan is a U.S. puppet. I hate this timeline so much!

Afghanistan was a peaceful country when king Zahir Shah was king. But after the monarch overthrown by rascal Daud khan, unrest continue until now. If monarch exist now in Afghanistan, then situation never deteriorate like Teliban arrival.

He was also extremely interested in pleasure and womanising. Add to all this Amanullah's mother who wanted his son on the thrown.

Afghanistan was the first country in that region to give women right to vote . Look at it now

Amen. The world grieved too. He embraced some aspects. It's true there seem to be some style in monarchy gov now more than past. Many look less impoverished. That and several types changes took harsh turns.

He protected the rights of Catholics, I support him already.

Thanks Myrna!

If only the gradual modernization had been better operated and left to naturally grow.

The fact remains that Afghanistan will only see peace once the imperial rule is restored the reason why I say this is because of the sourcetal makeup Afghanistan which is still deeply tribal and clan besed Western style democracy will not work for a country like Afghanistan

THE KING OF AFGHANISTAN GOOD DOCUMENTARY AND START DEVELOPING MODERN COUNTRY AFGHANISTAN VERY PROGRESSIVE

I think King Amanullah was the best king ever.He opened all the doors to the women of Afganistan

Unfortunate area that was created as a result of adjustments between empires. Deeply divided and violence stricken. East and South are totally different from north and north western parts. Hard to find any solution.

Iran also has the same multi ethnic society as Afghanistan, except integration into a wider society was successful, something Afghanistan can't achieve

Awsome

So saddened by the current situation there

Afghanistan is frozen in time since Dawood Khans Era

How so?

A lot of Muslim countries past was a lot better than its present time .

I was fortunate to meet the king in Kabul on has last days a live. wow what in honor.

Good Luck To you ✌️

Naah. He was raciest and unjust against other ethnic groups just like his father, Nadir Shah. Actually he continued extra taxation on Hazarajat, which was the reason Abdul Khaliq Hazara assassinated his father for. Him and his father had many decades to pave the path for more equality, justice and prosperity, but they failed. We were never a strong and united nation under him, if we were, we wouldn’t fall for the brutality that followed after them.

So why do the Tajiks claim to be the majority ethnic group when, all the non Pashtun tribes combined together haven't been able to take power by force or to be elected after 2001 in election.

truly Zahir shah was the right kings, in his time Afghanistan was very peaceful.
