The USSR didn't make any invasions in 1979, but on New Year's Day 1980 they invaded Afghanistan. This was to shore up the Marxist Government that was then in power in Kabul, which was under threat from Mujahadeen Islamic rebels who had been inspired by the Iranian Revolution the previous year to seek the establishment of an Islamic state.

had the Americans not helped the mujahadeen, the Russians might have won and perhaps established peace unlike the consequences of American involvement then and now
