    1. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 and maintained a military presence until 1989. Their withdrawal was expected to bring stability, but instead it created a power vacuum. This vacuum led to a prolonged civil war throughout the 1990s as various factions vied for control. This period was pivotal in shaping Afghanistan’s modern history.

    2. As with any revolution: The hard part comes when the existing regime is dead.

      Building a nation is a lot harder to disposing of one. No matter how righteous your revolution may be.
