The Great Game rivalry between Russia & Britain placed the mountainous Kingdom of Afghanistan in the middle. Emerging out of the dying embers of the Durrani Empire, Afghanistan fought hard for its existence; but their destiny would be disrupted with multiple invasions from the British in the south and a wariness of Russia incursions in the north. Over the course of 3 Wars starting in the 1830s and extending until 1919, we’ll learn of the greatest military disaster faced by the British Empire, the intrigues of an Afghan ruler who tried to play two great European powers against one another and even an invasion of British India by the Afghans. This is the story of Anglo-Afghan Wars.

Who won - the British or the Afghans?
Afghan History Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLiPhmAD3I2JwtvkJo3FEzNjREicYlQgm1.html
No one won just humanity lost
Afghans for sure
Afghans definitely won. Afghans gained freedom and made a name for themselves, while Britain just tarnished it reputation.
@@DistantTravels But the Afghans lost its claim to a bunch of its territory. Plus the British technically got what it wanted - keeping Afghanistan out of Russian hands. What would you say to that?
It's nuanced. The battles strengthened Afghan unity while slowing our development and hurting the people. Afghanistan has an antifragile character to it.
"The Afghans kept fighting despite losing battles". That seems to have been their recipe for avoiding domination by foreign countries.
The terrain also had a considerable influence on the outcome. It is Afghanistan's geographical
situation that has seen so much outside interference by powers seeking influence and control
of a strategic area on the world map.
@@songsmith31a- Exactly. Their terrain is their greatest line of defense. For thousands of years they’ve been able to ambush their enemies at will.

Great admiration to Afghans, Zulus, Irish, Ethiopians, Cheyenne & Sioux who defeated Imperials armies in the hard time of colonisation

Graveyard of empires. Well done.
Thanks David!
Various empires throughout history after conquering Afghanistan for hundreds of years:
@@danb4900The terrain is hilly and mountainous that's the main advantage and nothing else.
The only empire buried in Afghanistan is that of the Afghan empire.
Myth man .Afghanistan the most abused and used country in the world
I have so much respect for the martial prowness and pride of the afgan people
I am a former British soldier from Scotland who fought in Afghanistan, in 2012 was my tour. I just wanted to say I watched the entire documentary you made and it was so interesting! It really makes me think a lot about why we were there. It’s unbelievable the amount of times we have been involved in Afghanistan
I never really agreed with the afghan war
@@TextBookPuncher1 yea I think we all know it was an enormous waste of time , money and lives.
@@martincameron2907 I love Britain but come on our foreign policy has been disgusting. We went abroad and helped do the yanks dirty work. I don’t think Iraq and Afghanistan were ever a threat to us.
May God keep you away from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans.
Alexander the Great
You invaded my glorious nation Afghanistan many times and believe me we will do the same to you
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
The British will forever be the enemy of the afghan people
May you never sleep well in night for what your British people did to my glorious nation
"My friend, you are aware that it is not in the practice of the British Government to interfere with the affairs of other independent states." 😂😂😂
and that bird that putted on your nose flying about is her fault rah???!!!
Name one powerful country that did not
How many empires and how many times they tried to conquer Afganistan but no one win there.
Old boy didn't get briefed and accidentally told the funniest British joke of the era.

Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it, this is a absolute correct saying!
Hmm. Same is happening in today s pak indiia bnglssh n afghan...but against usa
This is the most detailed video on this I've seen and it is easy to understand the narrator.
I'm glad!
Hello !! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)
Salam (Peace).
The only time the Afghans defeated the British was the Retreat from Kabul, 1st Afghan War. A British column of 4,000 soldiers and 12,000 camp followers (women and children) were murdered by Afghan tribesmen and died from lack of food and freezing temperatures. The Second Afghan War the British soundly defeated the Afghans in what was named "The War of Retribution". The Third Afghan War was when the Afghans tried to invade India, and lost every battle.
It seems like you have taken this Afghan victories too personal😂😂😂I'm sure you will make similar excuse for your 45+ Nato Alliance defeat too
@@Mu5tyLaghmani Afghanistan has always been a shit hole. Nobody actually wants it as its got nothing. The British were there to stop the Russians, the Russians to stop the headbanger Muslims. Some HATO to destroy Bin Laden and Al quada. NOBODY WANTS AFGHANISTAN. lol
@@Mu5tyLaghmani I wouldn't say having your country under occupation for 20 years is a victory
@@grottybt5006 in war for twenty years, not occupation. more than 60% of Afghanistan was always under Taliban in the past twenty years.
So bad at invasions but good at making life intolerable to the invader
The loss of the Pashtun lands to what is now Pakistan...is a tragedy.
And unfortunately a point of difference between Afghans and ponjabies, will never be easy to govern kpk unless pak listen to Pashtuns
We still on our land and still doing what our ancestor used to do war against the imperialist don't you see we didn't accept Army rule pervious day 7 Pakistani Arny died for misbehavior we didn't knee down toward them even though they call themselve the Army of areas ...we rejected thrir Nato drama we rejected all these and still flourish on forefathers land and even take most of the Pakistan we are everywhere in Pakistan no place you will find in Pakistan where we have no influence 😮😅
These areas was captured by sher e punjab Maharaja ranjeet singh
Wonderful history, pictures and narration. My husband is from the Barakzai Family, Shaghasi. He is very proud of his ancestors.
Excellent video! While I was already generally familiar with the history discussed in the video, I found your presentation exceptional and your infrequent injection of opinion to be balanced and fair. I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel (this was the 1st time I came across your channel) and I look forward to your future content.
Very well put together and informative, knowing this history helps understand subsequent events and the present.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thumbnail is dope ngl. Cant wait. I especially love your vids on Afghan history.
Thanks man!

Fascinating, thank you for this
My pleasure!
Very well done. Uv taken a hard, obscure part of history and made it sumple to understand. Presented quite nicely so it's easy to digest and follow.
Great to hear the names pronounced correctly👍 excellent work. Thanks.
Marvellous combination of facts and analysis
What a great video, gonna watch all the rest of your content now :)
Glad to hear it!
Dost Mohammad Khan's brother is my Great Great Grandfather, Sultan Mohammad Khan Tilayee who gave up rule to his brother and went to Peshawar to govern, this explains so much about my family dynamic and behavior of my mother and her siblings. Monarchies are often engulfed in envy, power struggles, & greed. Thank you for your content, it's helping me figure out so much about myself and who I am
What a fascinating background you have!
Who gave Peshawar to the Sikh Empire?
Do Afghans know the theological / messianic reasons why Britain's Deep State does not want Afghanistan and the Indus Valley to have friendly ties with Russia?
Do Afghans know that Britain created Pakistan to continue the Great Game against Russia? The Pakistan Army maintains Britain's imperial legacy and enforces British foreign policy in Afghanistan and Indus valley?
@@unibks4382 Dost Mohammad Khan, but they killed Harry Singh in retaliation
Unbelievable great job!!!
Thank you!
I enjoyed this. Thank you
EXCELLENT!
History presented with clarity and with a focus on the most important aspects and issues. Also, superb archive material. = Subscribed. Keep it up, Guv'nor.

Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Hello !! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

Thank you, this took around 4 weeks
Great video! I love how you adressed misconceptions on these wars, especially the first anglo afghan war! I noticed one mistake though-Sher Ali Khan never went into exile. From 1863 to 1869 Afghanistan was in civil war, and Afzal Khan (governor of afghan turkestan) and Azam Khan (governor of Kurram) both collaborated to overthrow their uterine brother. When in February 1866 Afzal Khan captured Kabul, Sher Ali Khan simply fled to Kandahar and Herat, not to Bukhara. He was never aided by the russians. On the contrary, Bukhara actually aided Afzal Khan bcs they wanted their influence in Afghan Turkestan back, and Afzal Khan even inserted the Emir of Bukhara's name into the khutbah at Mazar-i Sharif. Bukhara even sheltered some of the afghan rebels like 'Abd al-Rahman Khan when Sher Ali retook the captial in 1868. When the British took the capital, they burned down a lot of documents containing info on Sher Ali Khan unfortunately so thats why not as much is known about this.
This Afghan Civil War, the reign of Sher Ali Khan, and indeed 19th century afghanistan in general isnt well known besides the anglo afghan wars, so if you could make another video on 19th century afghanistan, i would be more than willing to help you with research.

This is very accurate. The Mujahideens and Taliban never defeated the US or Soviets in any major battles. They just kept fighting/getting new recruits untill it was too expensive to keep fighting them. You kill 10, 30 will take their place.
@@theanglo-lithuanian1768 not
@@luizhenriqueferreiradesouz153 Great counter argument. Very convincing.
You mentioned in the video how you were unsure about how Akbar Khan found out about the betrayal. The reason is that he had concocted it to test Macnaughten’s loyalty (which he obviously failed). Long story short, he offered to become the vizier to Shah Shuja, allow a delay to the departure of the British and would allow Aminulla Khan (a chief ringleader of the rebellion) to be captured by the British if Macnaughten would agree to the deal (as opposed to the deal already being made with the other chiefs). The desperate Macnaughten agreed only to be captured by Akbar Khan, who felt he could no longer trust him. While it will never be known for certain, the evidence suggests that Macnaughten wasn’t going to be killed but in the confusion of the capture (while surrounded by excited, but not especially loyal, Ghazis, holy warriors, who were calling for British blood) Akbar Khan killed Macnaughten.
Thank You for the Detail. I Love the Details.

Most Sikhs sadly don't realize that the British used them for their interest many Sikhs died for the British while the British empire grew rich.
Sikhs were conon fodder to the british, just as most Indian sepois were..
@@qtt8122 and don't forget, took the koh-e-noor.
Who???? Sikhs lol. islam n Christianity are two most dominant forces last 1400 years. It is always between islam n Christianity.. sikhs lol..
Not bro the Sikh army created by ranjit Singh was literally one of the best fighting forces in Asia. Guerrilla warfare was not necessary to win against the British. Sikhs had adapted European warfare and invested in their artillery. In both wars the Sikhs won every artillery engagement and this was said by a British historian. Look up the battle of ferozeshah in that battle the Sikhs outperformed the British. Only reason Sikhs lost was cuz of the empire becoming corrupt after ranjit singhs death and the dogar dynasty who betrayed the empire.
Very interesting video.
It seems that you condensed a lot of history into one easily understood video, for someone ignorant of the history - me 💜

@@islamisthetruewaytogod6812 I respect any and all people who assert that love is all.
No offence meant, however I don't and will not follow any paradigm that states it knows all.

In the meantime we should all do our best to learn how better to understand_love this universe that we're all a part of 🤠💜
The Durand line was the worst thing that happened to the Pashtoons. The Amir at the time couldn't read the treaty which was in English and signed it without understanding what he was giving away. That is why the Afghans do not accept the Durand line and some Pashtoons south of the Durand line do not accept it either.
This is also why Pakistan keeps interfering in Afghan politics and always armed anti-government groups, and other terroristic activities. Iran does the same as Pakistan, funding anti-government Shia groups and those who want a divided Afghanistan. After the annexation of USSR, the central Asian countries north of the Afghan borders have joined Pakistan and Iran in further creating wars and division in Afghanistan.
Although while some "Afghans" who belong to the non-Pashtoon ethnicity want to divide the nation, the leaders of of those ethnicities do not. Their leaders are much happier because they know they would neither be accepted by those countries, such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iran or Turkmenistan. They would rather remain part of Afghanistan and I think that is how it will be in the future.
There was an Afghan historian named Dr. Ghobar which has written 2 or 3 volumes about their history. I haven't found those books in English, but I heard that his family was trying to translate and publish it in English.
Idi ot, you think people are donkey like Adul Rahman khan the betrayer or what? He signed a paper without knowing what's written????

It is not only Abdul Rahmen, Shah Shuja, Mohammad Ayob, Nader, Karzai and the last Ghani are pute examples of betrayal of pashtuns and their incompetent dirty minds.

As a result of the desisive defeat of the Afghans at the battle of Kandahar by Lord Roberts the British were able to install a compliant ruler in Afghanistan who would keep the Russians out of British India's borders. Britain never wanted to take over Afghanistan they just didn't want Russia next door.
Man, the British empire is underrated.
British empire was underrated but Afghanistan is grave yard of many empires
Underrated? I never heard that. I thought everyone considered it, not only the largest ever, but the most influential on the modern world.Except for overly romantic, fantastical thinking, even the Roman Empire doesn't compare, if you evaluate the multifaceted legacy
This was a amazing video i subscribed , could you please do a video on sikh war history like sikh vs Afghan war sikh vs Mughal war Sikh vs British.

I'm American so this part of history is not talked about often here so this is really interesting to me. first video i have seen of yours and the narration is great, will definitely be checking out others.
Thanks James!
It's interesting that neither the British, Russian forces in 80's and more recently a twenty 20 year conflict by a large number of western armies couldn't succeed in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires.
@@chrisholland7367 Imagine if they understood the Potential of the opium 🤣
@Ralph They did and so did the British empire during 1800s. The British exported and introduced opium to China. The British fought with the Chinese during what was known as the 'opium wars'
That's how Britain acquired Hong Kong as part of its empire.
@@chrisholland7367 Yes, sorry. I didn't mention that I was aware of that.But the opium sold to the Chinese was grown in India. I don't think at this stage that they knew about the The Potential for opium growing in "Afghanistan" at this stage.It became a venue for that century later. in the 19th century, The gap, it was thought of as "exclusively", a buffer zone", the guts to provide protection against any potential Russian encroachment, on British imperial interests
hmmm 50 minutes it's like you're saying something heheh... no jk these docs of yours are great, really balanced and academic, it's funny also you sound local like from luton or somewhere near me... quality channel
Have you considered doing videos on the Boer wars and the anglo-zulu war also the 1857 Indian mutiny
Boer War - no; Anglo-Zulu War - no; Indian Mutiny - yes!
@@HikmaHistory Looking forward to it
As an amateur military historian and a former UsArmy Officer Signal Corps you have presented a well researched and definitive analysis of the Anglo Afghan wars. Well done ! I look forward to additional videos !
What is the name of the painting/print @ 1:23 ? thank you
Those beatiful tartian buildings
I think both lost the war, but Afghanistan lose more. Lots of pashtun lands are now in Pakistan, which caused many harmful effects to both Afghanistan and Pakistan even today.
While with the British, although they lost huge amount of resources and prestige in Afghanistan, it didn't cause that much of an effect for the rest of the empire
Its kinda like Vietnam. Tecnically US lost in Vietnam but Vietnamese people suffered far more than the americans
Well there could be a difference depending on what you’re trying to say. Vietnam wasn’t an American military loss it was a political loss. The US military was decimating the Vietnam the k/d ratio is heavily on the American side. We lost politically and the war ended. Now with this video I’m more interest who won militarily did the afghans beat the British military. I think they did as Britain was flexing its military might everywhere and taking lands because it was an empire. The us is a democracy and prone to the civilian revolt which got worse and worse as the Vietnam went on. Protest against the war got worse in Vietnam. Don’t think that happens in Britian. It would seem to me the british had a certain amount of losses it could take
Before deeming Afghanistan not worth it and the afghans gave it to them so the British pulled out.
I could be wrong I haven’t watched but Britain was an empire at the time and operated like one which means civilian unrest is way lower than the United States so the probability of the britian pulling out due to political reason stemming from anything other than military losses and resources is probably pretty low. So too many resources were being lost in Afghanistan to continue. British military lost to the afghan military.
The British humiliation will be remembered (fondly) forever.
No, It's Chinese Proxy war against American, therefore; Chinese won the war! American lost political war and not hard war!
Not entirely true. The US loss to the Vietnam military cannot be disputed The US controlled the towns but the rural areas were always controlled by the North. Even without the politics it was a war that could not be won. Firstly the North Vietnamese had no option but continue the fight, in their eyes there was no other way. The US and it's allies on the other hand were there because their governments introduced conscription and so took away any choice they might have had. Of course propoganda has always been a powerful tool and the " domino effect " slogan - the idea that if Vietnam fell to the communists then other countries would also fall was used with great effect. Over time it became clear the war was lost and the U.S had no intention of following in the footsteps of the French. To deny it was a Vietnamese military victory is a bit silly especially after the mad scramble to flee Saigon.
Ranjit Singh denied permission for Army to travel hence the route via Sindh was selected to the best of my knowledge
lol ranjit gave sikh women as prostitutes to his British masters. then he was killed alongside his British masters in Afghanistan. he was a useless cannon fodder. lol
@@akiogood4712 im pretty sure he died of natrual causes
@@haideraliibnakhlaq8823 it was yeah there are some theories cuz having him dead would destroy the Sikh empire which it did but most likely it was from his declining health. Nihal singh was the future of the empire but was sadly killed by the dogars
My dear brother thank you for your some your honest words towards the seeks but one fact I must update you on it or which is I'm sure by mistake by mistake you stated the first English invasion into Afghanistan was July 39th and Ranjit Singh had died already in June so right after his death which is already his empire was in turmoil and the emperor whatever allowed it was very weak who was assassinated and later on his his on his throne Sher Singh had told the British they would never be allowed to attack Afghanistan from Punjab ever again and he too after that was assassinated and one thing you said it where the breeder said the Auckland said he didn't want to interfere in any other empire we know that's not true for them but thank you so much for showing for respect that we should other people of South area to each other as we are all the cousins to the r18 from Iran and turkey all with roots in Central Asia we must understand that existence is starting with a very deep conspiracy and I pray for Afghanistan's freedom and peace as they fought real hard and I do for my people or are people saying but my community as well as the world
We lost all 3 wars but we did boot them out they were real strong in all these wars I lost tremendous amount of family. My cousin passed away during the start of the taliban takeover (will not say how nor why) tho
RIP(All your passed away tremendous amount of family in the wars)
What are you talking about? The Afghans won all three wars.
@@jamescarter6518 Afghans lost the second one. That’s why they had to give up control of their foreign policy to Britain and this is what caused the third war when they got their independence.
My friend got shot in the forehead to in Samangan during the start of Taliban takeover
@@mudshovel289 the second was many wars combined into one. The afghans won many and lost some important battles and were finally fooled.
Great work. Like, comment and subscribe. Help share important history.
Thanks man!
this TH-cam channel makes horrible videos. it has very weak research skills. this moron believes the british have won the wars although all British historians themselves agree that they lost all wars miserably in Afghanistan

Hey! My guy!
quick question
i have noticed this controversy about the kohinoor dimond whick is current in britan after being stolen by the british from india
do you think it should be returened to india or kept in great britian
Returned, of course
Returned to who though. It was given to us just like it was passed around before. Do we give it to afghans or Indians, and which caste because the regular Indians were never going to own it before it was gifted to us.
Which Indian too because it looks like you murdered each other for it at one point, so is that ownership legitimate?
Are all the previous times it switched ownership legitimate?
If I am not mistaken Dost Mohammad Khan titled himself as Shah of Khorasan untill his exile to India. The British forced him to accept their influence over foreign affairs of the nation and change his title to Emir of Afghanistan. Finally yearsl ater Abdul Rahman Khan accepted it, sparking an ethnic tension with in the country that nobody could put out until now
You should do one on How the Afghans Defeated The American Empire.
I'm actually pissed that I've never heard of this conflict. This would make a great production I swear 🤞🏾.
Pissed that you wait until you're *told* history. The info has always been out there.

Anyone come to Afghanistan to conquer it.
You just see the history of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 .
AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫 is graveyard of empire.

And the Animist tribes of Kafiristan ??? do u think they were happy having there culture and religion taken from them at the barrel of a gun
Cope
because the Afghan mindset is not something the West can generally relate to. War is not a series of battles to conclude by a certain time. Its a way of life that is simply handed down from generation to generation. So if they lose 100 battles in a row, it doesn't mean anything to them. The fight is something eternal for them. If it takes 400 years to get the enemy to finally give up, then so be it. It takes 400 years. its not like they really have anything else to look forward to.

Wow I like this Channel. Seems to me a neutral enough but also a competent source of "Islam world". A lot of effort needed to create such clips I guess - thanks!!
A lot of effort! Thank you for your kind words!
I wish I knew why Allah made it play out that way, I wish Afghanistan could still be the powerful nation it was. The West has done so much harm, I wish I could understand it all.
Allah does not change the situation of a people until they change themselves first. Afghanistan lived because of the faith of the few, the Gareeb, the ghuraba.. aka the poor who had faith.rest of Afghanistan even during the times of the Soviet invasion was a shameless place. Same goes for all Islamic nations even today.

Admin are you Pashtun?
6:42 🤣
Very cunning barbarians.
only the superpowers of their time contend with Afghanistan and always end up losing. I don’t think anyone will ever think of messing with them ever again now 😂
Even though on paper the British were in control of Afghan foreign affairs, in reality they bought Afghan neutrality through an annual subsidy, Afghans managed their foreign affairs whenever they felt necessary as evident by several treaties and foreign missions that they engaged in. The ordinary Afghans had no sense of their independence being under the control of a foreign entitiy. So the video overstates the Afghan desire for independence, this idea of needing to secure independence was created and propogated by Amanullah Khan, who understood the only way he could secure his position was to unify Afghans by provoking them into aggression against an enemy. By the time of the third Anglo Afghan war the British weren't even paying that subsidy, so the Afghans going to war to gain their "independence" is absurd, this was just something fabricated by Amanullah against a weak enemy to get the Pashtuns who were mostly conservative and nationalist on his side.
Who told u
Hello !! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)
