During the period of 1979, the Afghan domestic regime ushered in great changes, and the Council of Ministers paid attention to Hafizura Amin replacing nur muhammad taraki as the head of state. Soon after, another force led by babrak karmal came to power through a coup. At this time, the internal political power in Afghanistan was not unified, and many militants were born.
1On February 27th, 979, more than 65,438,000 Soviet troops invaded their neighboring Afghanistan. At that time, the appointment of the Supreme Soviet Brezhnev was in the late stage of serious illness, and even the order to confront the Soviet Union was issued by Soviet KGB Chairman andropov and Defense Minister ustinov.
Why did the Soviet Union invade Afghanistan? Why didn't the Soviet Union win a military victory in attacking Afghanistan?
1, King of Afghanistan
country
Afghanistan is located in the hinterland of the Asian continent. It has formed a transportation hub strategically connecting India, the Middle East, Central Asia and other countries, and its geographical location is very important. Because of this, many powerful countries in history have tried to occupy Afghanistan through war and use Afghanistan as a springboard to realize their grand plan of sweeping the Asian continent.
However, Afghanistan's closed environment and traditional social form made the Soviet Union unable to start. Until 1953, the opportunity came.
2. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a fiasco.
On February 25th, the Soviet Union airlifted 654.38+million troops to Afghanistan, 1979, and on February 27th, it sent troops in an all-round way. The Soviet Union insisted throughout the country that it was "invited to protect Afghan citizens from frequent invasions by China and American troops". However, such a naked military invasion met with protests all over the world, especially the United States, which has good relations with Afghanistan, strongly demanding that the Soviet Union withdraw its troops immediately. Some people are the products of the Soviet Union's support for the People's Democratic Party's reform. At that time, a lot of bloody tragedies were caused, and many people had to leave their homes to live abroad.
On the other hand, in the Eastern Group headed by the Soviet Union, most countries are developing countries. These countries usually need assistance from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union not only needs to spend a lot of money and materials, but also needs to provide assistance to these socialist countries. It is in this gap that it is not easy to be attacked by the enemy.
1989, the Soviet Union withdrew. Two years later, the Soviet Union disintegrated and the cold war with the United States ended.
