The Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989) was significant for several reasons. It marked a critical point in the Cold War, as it showcased the Soviet Union's military overreach and contributed to its eventual decline. The conflict also fueled the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and provided a training ground for future jihadists, including figures like Osama bin Laden. Additionally, the war had lasting impacts on Afghanistan, leading to decades of instability and conflict in the region.

Jihad significantly impacted the Soviet-Afghan War by galvanizing local resistance against Soviet forces, as Afghan fighters, known as mujahideen, framed their struggle as a holy war. This ideological motivation attracted international support, including funding and arms from countries like the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, which bolstered the mujahideen's capabilities. The fierce resistance and guerrilla tactics employed by the mujahideen ultimately contributed to the Soviet Union's withdrawal in 1989, highlighting the effectiveness of jihadist mobilization in shaping the conflict's outcome.
