Afghanistan has been engulfed in wars for decades. From 1978-1991, Afghanistan had a civil war between its Communist government and the Mujaheddin Rebel groups. The Soviet Union was involved in this war for most of length, buttressing the Communist government which eventually collapsed. Following this war, the Taliban, one of the Mujaheddin groups, effectively conquered 90% of the country and brought about a repressive atmosphere. In 2001, the US government and the NATO coalition invaded Afghanistan following the Attacks of September 11th and overthrew the Taliban government. The US and NATO are currently working in order to stop Taliban incursions from Pakistan and provide stability for the current Afghan government.
