The United States supported Afghan rebels, particularly the Mujahideen, during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989) to counter Soviet expansionism and influence in the region. This support was part of a broader Cold War strategy to weaken the Soviet Union by fostering resistance movements in various parts of the world. By providing funding, weapons, and training, the U.S. aimed to help the rebels fight against the Soviet invasion and promote a shift in power dynamics favoring U.S. interests. Ultimately, this support contributed to the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan but also had long-term implications for the region.
