Was communism an issue with the war in Afghanistan?

Yes, communism was a significant issue in the context of the war in Afghanistan, particularly during the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979 to 1989. The Soviet Union intervened to support the communist government in Afghanistan, which faced resistance from various insurgent groups, collectively known as the Mujahideen. This conflict drew international attention and support, particularly from the United States, which provided aid to the Mujahideen as part of its broader Cold War strategy to counter Soviet influence. The war ultimately contributed to the Soviet Union's decline and the rise of various extremist factions in Afghanistan.
