Afghanistan is facing internal conflicts and foreign interventions for centuries. It is known as the graveyard of empires. The Greeks, Persians, Mongols, and several others tried conquering or influencing Afghanistan, but they all failed. Despite these horrible circumstances, interventions, and political instability, the country made several attempts towards modernization in the mid-20th century. Afghanistan was a neutral country in the 1960s; however, the peace was destroyed again by Soviet and U.S. intervention, and after 40 years, the Taliban are regaining control from America. The majority of the people still don’t know the facts and circumstances which played a keen role in the destruction of peace in Afghanistan in the late 20th century. It was all started when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in support of the Afghan government. Which then followed by America. U.S government started a proxy war against communism, and they sponsored the Taliban and other terrorist groups in the name of “Jihad” against the communism of the USSR. America provided Training camps, ammunition, and financial support to Taliban and anti-USSR groups. All the warlords, drug lords, and Taliban were once the guests of the white house. U.S government fully sponsored the Taliban and other terrorist groups against USSR. Sadly, this truth is hidden from Americans; how Brzezinski and Carter supported extreme Anti-Russian elements, which became Taliban. And when the USSR left the Afghanistan, Taliban and the other U.S sponsored terrorist groups refused to obey the orders, U.S invaded Afghanistan in the name of the war against terrorism. These fascinating photos show what Afghanistan looked like in the 1950s and 1960s — capturing streets, markets, schools, landmarks, and the everyday life of Afghan people.
