The Afghan Soviet conflict of the 1980s and the US Iraq conflict that began in 2003 both illustrate the complexities of foreign interventions driven by geopolitical interests. In Afghanistan, the U.S. supported mujahideen fighters against Soviet forces to counter Cold War influence, while in Iraq, the U.S. aimed to eliminate perceived threats to regional stability and promote democracy post-9/11. Both conflicts resulted in prolonged instability and insurgency, highlighting the challenges of military intervention and the unintended consequences that can arise. Ultimately, they reflect a pattern of foreign powers grappling with the complexities of local politics and resistance.
The Afghan-Soviet conflict of the 1980s and the U.S.-Iraq conflict that began in 2003 both illustrate the complexities of foreign intervention in regional conflicts. In Afghanistan, the U.S. supported mujahideen fighters against the Soviet invasion, which contributed to long-term instability in the region. Conversely, the U.S.-Iraq conflict involved the invasion of Iraq under the premise of eliminating weapons of mass destruction, leading to a protracted insurgency and further destabilization. Both conflicts reveal the unintended consequences of military intervention and the challenges of nation-building in volatile regions.
The Afghan War can be characterized as both a civil war and an international conflict. It began as a struggle for power among various Afghan factions, particularly after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, leading to a complex internal conflict involving the Taliban, the Afghan government, and various ethnic and political groups. Additionally, the involvement of foreign powers, such as the United States and NATO, further complicates this classification, as their interventions have significantly influenced the dynamics of the conflict. Thus, while it has civil war elements, it is also shaped by external factors.
An Afghan is commonly referred to as a person from Afghanistan. The term can also refer to the ethnic groups within the country, such as Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks. Additionally, "Afghan" can be used to describe the national identity or cultural heritage of the people living in Afghanistan.
Between 1979 and 1989, the Soviet Union sent approximately 620,000 soldiers to Afghanistan during its military intervention. The conflict, which lasted nearly a decade, involved a significant deployment of troops, peaking at around 100,000 soldiers at various times. This military effort was aimed at supporting the Afghan communist government against insurgent groups, but ultimately led to a costly and protracted war.

Pakistan and Israel have never had normalized relations. Both countries continue to demonize each other. (Israel describes Pakistan as a "Terrorist Haven" and Pakistan describes Israel as a "Racist, Zionist State".) However, there has been talk of normalizing relations between leaders of both countries and there has been past collaboration, especially against Afghan Mujahedin.
In the 1830s, the British started interfering in afghanistan's internal affairs as they thought Russia might expand across Asia and attack India via Afghanistan. This insecurity resulted into anglo-afghan wars between 1838 and 1842.
There really is none. The two wars had very little to do with each other. The only way that they are linked is that the US supported Afghan Mujahedin during the Afghan-Soviet Conflict in the 1980s, which included al-Qaeda as an organization. After the Soviets retreated from Afghanistan in 1989, the United States chose not to invest in developing the Afghan State or providing further support to the Mujahedin. This, in addition to general US Foreign Policy frustrated them, so they organized terrorist attacks on the United States in 1993 (which failed) and in 2001 (which was successful) to destroy the Twin Towers as well as bombing US embassies in Africa in the late '90s and bombing the USS Cole in Yemen. In retailiation, the United States invaded Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaeda. President Bush then argued that Iraq was also connected to this, which is pure nonsense, and asked Americans to support an invasion of Iraq, which led to the Iraq War of 2003-2011.

Depends what you mean by war. There is always conflict somewhere in the world. Examples are the Colombian conflict, the Afghan and Somali wars. Iraq and Pakistan. The Mexican drug war. The Sudanese conflict and problems in Yemen and Syria
