2. Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan-happened b/c they wanted them to have a comunist government. They were invited in by the government of Afghanistan. Mujahideen were rebels in Afghanistan that were fighting their government to not have communision. They declared a holy war b/c an outside force came in.
