Britain controlled the foreign affairs of Afghanistan after this war.

British defeated Afghans and installed their Puppet Ruler in 1880 but in Afghanistan children are taught another history where British were total looser and afghans were victorious. This led to pseudo chivalry of Afghans till Today.Even before Maharaja Rajit Singh also established his government through puppit in Kabul.Afghans needed to learn the True history not a Concocted story.

Ranjit singh was a governor for the Afghan crown, that dog turned around and bit the hand that fed em. We went back to deal with Persians and Uzbeks and instead of ranjit singh making our ranks stronger turned his artillery around on Afghans. In our culture if a man can dishonor his pact he can also sell his mother.

Since you are from Punjab, you would love to dream about this shit. Anything that let's you sleep for a while. Afghans rules over Punjab for centuries. Starting from 1025, Afghans frequently took the hold of Punjab for the next couple of centuries to come. Your slave-like mentally has been very well appreciated by Britishers which is why they were easily able to rule you guys. In fact not just Britishers, every other army that went through Punjab managed to control it. When it comes to Sikh, they could only dream of even stepping into FATA where Mehsud and Wazir tribes alone were waiting for them. Jalalabad and Kabul were far from their dreams. Afghans have defeated regional and global powers through decades of resistance. Don't try to come us with Sikhs just because you are from Punjab. The world knows the Afghan history, stop reading Pakistan Studies, get your history updated. And yeah, stop being jealous, history remembers the ones who stand up and take the fight. Not the ones who prioritize their life over dignity. Cheers !

Fascinating once again TY! Clearly explained all the major events that led to the Durand line, the source of so many problems for Pakistan & Afghanistan. The division of ethnic groups across the world by far away Imperial power's politicians etc has led to so much violence this century.

The narrator seems surprised that Roberts won at Kandahar. He was a VC holder and a brilliant General - one who would wipe the Boer Army from the map during the Second Boer War, and was so beloved of the troops that he was trotted out to improve morale in the early days of World War 1. I think he needs a reality check.

Well Afghanistan lost territory and became a British protectorate until 1919 It was an Afghan defeat

There is no win , in every war , for the people. British almost lost the first Afghan war.. Then they had a second attempt.. as they have learnt from the First Afghan war. The problem with Afghanistan is , always its strartegic location. But being in war for some 200 years , now everyone in Afghanistan believe , that life is nothing more than a war.. 😢

A good, unbiased account, of the various conflicts!

Fantastic video

Excellent - thank you

1- Russians came back 100 years later 2- The internal conflict for power leads to the conflict of those divided with outsiders. 3- The assassination of one son paves the way for the favorite to get into power. 4- There was no need for fiction in a true war story since Afghan’s are muslims & not Navaho Indians.

Afghanistan has been conquered many times in the past but only successfully by long-term invaders who settle the country. Like many others, Britain didn't want to do that. Most of the current population have Mongol blood from the time of Genghis Khan who didn't invade and set up military camps, his army settled the country and wiped out many of the tribes they found there. It is a fragmented tribal society that has often been defeated in the field but then relies on tribal guerrilla war. Now that the Taliban has established links to so many international gangsters to sell their opium to, they now have a natural "resource" and the wealth to solidify their authority in the country.
