No, Afghanistan is not a British colony. It was never fully colonized by Britain, although it was subject to British influence during the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the Anglo-Afghan Wars. Afghanistan gained independence from British control in 1919, following the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Today, Afghanistan is a sovereign nation.
