Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
The Soviets invaded in 1979 because the government of Afghanistan called on the Soviets to help drive out the anti communists. Rebels inAfghanistan called for jihad against the Soviets. The US funded the rebels.There was a lot of guerrilla warfare fought by the rebels. The Soviets bombedAfghanistan a ton and it still hasn’t recovered. The Soviets took over citiesbut the rebels continued to hit them in the cities. The Afgan government hasn’tbeen the same since and the rebels basically became the Taliban which took overand we took out later. This war caused the Soviet Union to begin to break upwhen they lost this due to the economical weight. Al Queda is now using theweapons we gave them for this war against us now.
