The mujahideen were Afghan resistance fighters who opposed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989. The United States, along with other countries, provided significant support to the mujahideen through funding, military supplies, and training via the CIA's Operation Cyclone, aiming to counter Soviet influence in the region. This support helped the mujahideen ultimately force the Soviet withdrawal, but it also contributed to the rise of various militant groups, including the Taliban, in the aftermath of the conflict.
