The civil war in Afghanistan refers to the internal conflict that erupted following the withdrawal of Soviet forces in 1989, leading to a power struggle among various factions including warlords and the Taliban. This conflict escalated in the 1990s, resulting in widespread violence and instability. The Taliban eventually took control of the country in 1996, but their rule was challenged by the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks. The situation remains complex, with ongoing clashes between government forces, the Taliban, and other militant groups.
The Civil War and the war in Afghanistan share themes of deep internal division and conflicting ideologies, leading to prolonged and devastating conflicts within a nation. Both wars involved significant struggles over identity, governance, and social issues, with the Civil War focusing on slavery and states' rights, and the Afghanistan conflict centered on issues like democracy, terrorism, and tribalism. Additionally, both wars resulted in substantial casualties and long-lasting impacts on the respective societies, shaping their histories and futures.
84,000 US Soldiers are currently at war in Afghanistan
World War I happened at the same time worldwide. Afghanistan was not involved in that war, however.
There are lots of wars all the time, particularly civil wars, but the major war which followed the Cold War is known as the War On Terror; the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan are part of that larger struggle against international terrorism.
Afghanistan was neutral during the war.

Afghanistan
One of the biggest issues Afghanistan faces in the future is a civil war.
US Civil War 1861-1865. Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) 2001 to present. But there is a difference! The US Civil War was fought against an illegal nation; the Confederate States of America. But this "illegal nation" had a Government (President Jefferson Davis); an army and a navy. The US is not at war with the nation of Afghanistan; the US is performing a "law enforcement" action in Afghanistan arresting or killing (destroying) terrorists. The US is NOT fighting an army, air force, or navy of another nation. And is not at war with the country of Afghanistan.
