When the Soviets left Afghanistan, no one "took over." The Communist government that they had intervened to support was still in power. This was attacked for the next three years by the Taliban until they took over.They left in 1989

What weapons did the Middle East create?

None to speak of. What they have is mostly left over American and Russian weapons from the Cold War. The United States and its allies gave weapons to forces in Afghanistan (including Al Quida, although it wasn't really a terrorist group yet at the time) to rebel against the Soviet Union. Since Afghanistan and several other Middle Eastern countries were part of the Soviet Union, they also have many Russian weapons left over that they're still using.


What happened when Afghanistan fought the Soviet Union?

The fighting between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union lead to many deaths, fleeing, starvation, and homeless. The Soviet Union did invade Afghanistan, and put in a "puppet leader." There was a total of 1,000,000 dead Afghanistan, and the USA funded the guerrilla warfare of the Afghanis. After the great victory over the savage Soviets, the country in ruins was mostly just abandoned to more misery. A ripe environment for the Taleban's (EXTREME ISLAMIC GROUP) taking over and controlled many of the towns with Islamic militant law, and woman's rights were stripped from them. The Taliban had a simple strategy for taking over an area - kill everyone who doesn't flee. The Taleban areas became hiding and training grounds for the AL QAEDA terrorist groups. The USA helped Hamid Karzai (current president) get into power. Opium is being sold in Afghanistan, which is a big problem. Isn't horrible what has happened to Afghanistan all because of the fighting against the Soviet Union. Stop the fighting!


Who won The Battle of Stalingrad and why?

The Soviets won the Battle of Stalingrad. The Soviets won at Stalingrad. It took months and the Soviets probably lost as heavily or even worse than the Germans, but they could better afford the losses. In the end, the Soviets destroyed an entire Army Group at Stalingrad, over 250,000 Germans. More than 100,000 Germans were finally taken prisoner, and of those only about 6,000 ever got back to Germany, and not until the war had been over for ten years and Stalin was dead. This handful was returned in 1955.

Why did the US abandon Afghanistan?

One we are there now, so I'm you mean assuming covert ops when the soviets were invading. it is quite simple:We did not want the soviets to take over Afghanistan and establish a foothold in the oil rich middle east. So we gave them guns, rockets, and cash. Once the soviets left the American government really did not care.
