Afghanistan is in centre of silk road so it was strategic then and fairly central..
I'm not saying these are the right reasons, but Afghanistan has been traditionally a target as a passageway between the west and the far east, especially the Khyber pass. They called it "the gateway to India" In modern times, Afghanistan has a great deal of resources like rare earth metals.

"Lets invade Afganistan"
-Last words of empires
Unless they're Greek, North Indian, Iranian, Turkic, Arabic, Huns, or Scythians. The country was basically ruled by Greeks for most of the classical period and spent most of its history as a frontier for various Iranian empires before it was conquered by Turkic/Mongolian empires for nearly all of the medieval and modern period, ironically it mainly gained independence thanks to Russian and British imperialism and their squabbling made Afghanistan more valuable as a border state than a colony so neither of them tried too hard to secure it since Russia mainly just wanted to keep the British out of Central Asia and the British mainly just wanted to keep raiders and the Russians out of India but neither of them really wanted Afghanistan all that much.

@Anon Commenter they aren’t allowed to drink alcohol due to their religion is what he meant.
Lol 😂🤣
“Hold my beard”
On the contrary, the previous government under Ashraf Ghani was a proxy of the invading force (in this case the United States), and held little if any legitimacy among the people of Afghanistan. It collapsed because no one outside of Ghani’s inner circle of US-backed strongmen actually believed in their cause, least of all the rank and file soldiers who were directly fighting the Taliban. If anything the government dissolving before the Taliban even got a chance to negotiate with them only reinforces the legacy of Afghanistan being difficult for foreign occupiers to pacify.

@@ZAIRINFO taliabans wtf
Thank you for this detailed and informative video.
All of these challenges to a foreign power trying to control Afghanistan should have been clear to the U.S. in 2001, based on Russia's experiences there in the 1980s. And yet we still went in and stayed there for 20 years, thinking in our arrogance that we could do better.
As a nation, I hope we will learn from this folly and focus our efforts closer to home, where they are needed most. I blame both political parties for getting us into and keeping us involved in an unwinnable situation in an unconquerable country for far too many years.
Which is ‘till, in CE 2021, Sleepy Joe Biden had to withdraw the U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, so the Taliban extremists take over, just like the Vietnam war. & he even left the expensive things in that country, which is terrible, by the way.
Very interesting.Thanks for posting.

So afghanistan actually shouldn't be 1 country, it should have been split up into multiple countries since is so divided.
This makes me wonder why Afghanistan hasn't split into multiple smaller countries. If centralized power is so difficult, simply switching to localized power seems the logical conclusion. I know reality is a lot more complicated, tho
True. Im of the Shinwari Pashtun tribe
We live roughly by the Pakistani afghan border. right in beetween actuay
Its like this. In Afghanistan there is NO concept of a "united Afghansitan". first of all look at the terrain too much mountains, diffrent language histort cukture values
and most importantly too much tribes and sub tribes who act as independent people and have control over their land
@@omarshinwari7823pashtuns are terrorists. The country can only surive if pashtuns get back to their Pakistan and leave us alone
A Pashtunistan is long overdue, however for that to happen Pakistan has to give up basically half the country and that will never happen. You can thank the British for it. Be it Afghanistan or Pashtunistan, the idea of a Pashtun country is older than the concept of what we know as Afghanistan. Pashtuns were always synonymous to Afghans

@Sadek Sama The only reason Afghanistan is “impossible to conquer” is because these foreign countries arbitrarily artificially hold back their own military power, enabling and ensuring stalemate or “defeat”.

..imagine if the US military actually engaged in warfare like all others did for most of human history, where NO FOREIGN MILITARY ever dreamed of holding back on an enemy or foreign land they decided to conquer just because they could.. no mercy.. every home & temple demolished.. every man, woman, child, & beast slaughtered.. every crop burned.. scorched earth.. -you know like the TALIBAN STILL operates!

Taliban: "Hold my goat"
I am from Afghanistan and this is funny 😂
Bro in Afghanistan just one city left we are not conquered they have to take panjshir to conquer Afghanistan 🤣
@@user-fu4mp3fu3g are you crying inside or smthn
You do realise Taliban are an indigenous group? The video was obviously implying that external forces would find it infeasible to conquer Afghanistan, with Taliban themselves being one of the main reasons.
They'd give you their goat for two of their daughters.
“Afghanistan is impossible to conquer”
Taliban: Imma about to do what’s called a “Pro Gamer move”
It wasnt even a Pro Gamer move, more like mashing the keypad and winning the match because your opponent was AFK.
I hated Trump but watching Bush, Obama, and Trump sacrifice so much of Americas men and money only to see Biden just literally hand the whole country over to Afghanistan and then mumble "its Trump's fault and also Bushs fault but not mine or Obama's" is just depressing. Getting involved in a nearly pointless war sucks but just giving up and handing billions of dollars of equipment to the enemy is just sad.
Why are white people trying to take over Afghanistan? Oil right...
Lmao
@@johnnyson7474 what oil? Afghanistan is bone dry on oil. They've got some large mineral deposits but no infrastructure to exploit it. That's why china is currying favor with the Taliban and getting ready to expand into the region. The US never got anything from Afghanistan since the only things they could steal were goats.

The war in Afghanistan is like the US war against the American Indians: invaders against natives, modernity against tradition, trained troops against villagers, a central government against local tribes, land grabbers against the people of the land, the illiterate against the schooled. Only this time, the underdogs won.
How does this not have more likes
@@georgemcintyre7467 Thank you. That may be the nicest response I've ever gotten on TH-cam!
no no america didnt want to conquer this one. Just the capital's politicians. But afghans didnt care so nothing worked.
@@nikhtzatzi True enough. The US didn't want to milk Afghanistan, but "America" did want revenge for 9/11 and was happy enough that we conquered it, and put predatory crooks in charge of it, and backed them up with a modern army. They were worse to their own people than the settlers who took over the American West were to the Indians.
American natives never fought together and that was their weak spot. Some tribes hated other tribes more than the europeans because of their longer rivalries and darker history before the arrival of europeans.

This video has aged like fine wine a French cheese on a fall evening
I hardly count the Taliban as conquering; if people have to choose between local political factions they despise, and foreigners who blow up weddings because they *looked suspicious*, people will generally go with their own countrymen. Maybe if we had *actually* tried to make Afghanistan a better country instead of making a shell puppet government and bombing civilians it would have been a different story. Frankly the taliban takeover wouldn't have been possible without us.
@@92HazelMocha Well conquering is when you have control of the land. And for now Taliban DO have control of the land so I don't know what you are talking about. Also I don't know what you are trying to say with the line, 'Taliban takeover wouldn't have been possible without usa. In case you are puzzled, usa is the one that got removed from power in the country.
@@tushargupta1968 You control your own country, do you count that as "conquering" it? When you purchase a home are you "conquering" the land? Conquering requires invading, and the Taliban can't invade their own country.
I don't if you've paid any attention for the last 20 years, but the US has spent it bombing women and children unapologetically. This has litteraly caused the Taliban to gain favor in places that were never possible before.
@@92HazelMocha That is close to what I was saying, The reason I am saying that Taliban has conquered the country is because they weren't democratic elected. Taliban are not friendly to female gender and other such basic human rights are deemed necessary by them. Also Taliban although gaining control of their own country have still conquered it, because they aren't democratically elected. As the video also told, many of the old traditions are to be put back in place which tbh aren't viable in today's world. Thanks for the non-toxic reply as usually people get offended nowadays when I try to counterargue their statement. 😂
@@tushargupta1968 No worries. You're preaching to the choir; I've seen the horrors carried out by the taliban first hand. I will say however that since they posit that the election process (and the government that carries out that process) is illegitimate I don't know if that really counts as conquest. They see it as a liberation from the west, a conservative revolution and in their defense, with everything that's come since, the ANG does appear to infact largely be a puppet government. Today's taliban is radically different than the one in the 90's; most of the hardliners were killed by us or became more extreme and left for other organizations like ISIL. Hopefully this means that they will compromise with the more progressive Afghans, and create a lasting peace. At this point I am more concerned with the peace and prosperity of the Afghan people as a whole than with under which government that occurs.
Afghanistan: Impossible to conquer.
Taliban: What was that, punk?!
