The Long History of Afghanistan
Afghanistan has had a long history other than
just the war between the US and itself. In 500 B.C. it was conquered by Darius
I from Babylon. In 329 B.C. it was taken over my Alexander the Great of the
Macedonians. Mahmud from Ghazni took over this area in the 11th century. In the
13th century Genghis Khan took over this area, and many times after until 1870
Arab forces took over the area. During the recent 19th Century right before WWI
Britain tried to take over Afghanistan three times, but was cut off when WWI
came. Afghanistan made major government changes from Monarchy to Communism to
Democracy then back to communism when the USSR invaded. Everyone should know
the following history of 9/11 and al-Qaida. For a more complete history, click
