True.
The battle between the British and the Afghanistan army began in 1842. After the British were defeated overwhelmingly, the British pulled out.
There were attempts by the British to Colonize Afghanistan between 1839-1842. The Afghans soundly defeated the British Army in 1842 and let go of one survivor: Dr. William Brydon to be a witness to the British. The British then tried to set up a system where Afghans were in charge of their internal affairs while the British exerted influence over Afghanistan's external affairs - not making the soviet Union very happy.
The Bond of 1844 was an agreement between the UK and Afghanistan that granted Afghanistan's independence while providing financial support. Its effects included continued British influence in Afghan affairs and some stability in the region, but also led to increased tensions and eventual conflict between Afghanistan and the UK.
The British-made border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is called the DURAND LINE. The border was set by an agreement signed in 1893 between Sir Mortimer Durand, the Foreign Secretary of British India and Amir Abdur Rahman Khan in Kabul (King of Afghanistan).
The Durand Line is the boundary line between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was established in 1893 by the British Empire and is recognized by the governments of both countries. The line has been a source of dispute and tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan over the years.
A buffer state is a country lying between two rival or potentially hostile greater powers, which by its sheer existence is thought to prevent conflict between them.Afghanistan was a buffer-state between the British Empire (which ruled much of South Asia) and Russian Empire (which ruled much of Central Asia) during the Anglo-Russian conflicts in Asia during the 19th century.

The greatest influence on the organization doctrine and liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church was the sobornost. The sobornost is a concept that encourages the cooperation between people and discourages individualism.
Pakistan lies between Afghanistan and India.
The three Afghan wars and the Panjdeh incident were mainly related to "The Great Game" a term coined by a 19th intelligence officer for the clash between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for influence in Central Asia. Afghanistan was seen as a cause of trouble in its own right with border disputes and incursions and as a necessary buffer state between British India and the Russians. The first war with Burma was fought again over border disputes and territorial integrity with an expanding Burmese state. This changed in later years to one of acquisition of Burma into what was known as the British Raj as similar to the competition with Russia, Burma was seen as moving closer or being taken over by the French who were in Laos. Taking over lower Burma and the important port of Rangoon in the second war and upper Burma including Mandalay in the third war.
