2. Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan
the prime minister was trying to get rid of muslim from afghanistan and make it more communist, there were invaded to make sure the prime minister stayed in power. the gov't of afghanistan asked the soviet union to invade them. most of the people didnt like the fact that muslim was being rid of, so they formed a group and started to combat the soviet union, the soviets were more trained but the afghans were more prepared. they had the advantage because they were used to the weather and terrain, guerrila warefare is coming out and attacking then run and hide to prevent casulties. the mujahideen was a group of "holy warriors" that were trying to fight off the soviet union.
