Yes, communism was a significant issue in the context of the war in Afghanistan, particularly during the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979 to 1989. The Soviet Union intervened to support the communist government in Afghanistan, which faced resistance from various insurgent groups, collectively known as the Mujahideen. This conflict drew international attention and support, particularly from the United States, which provided aid to the Mujahideen as part of its broader Cold War strategy to counter Soviet influence. The war ultimately contributed to the Soviet Union's decline and the rise of various extremist factions in Afghanistan.
Both the Korean War and the Cold War were at issue with Communist expansion. The only one not at issue with Communism is the Afghanistan conflict.
It depends on which one. Communism was an issue in the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979-1989. Communism is not an issue in the current US-Afghan War from 2001-Present.
Yes, with the Soviet War, No with the US war.
The War in Afghanistan from 2001-Present. (the issues were Islamic Fundamentalism and support of terrorism) The Cold War was entirely communism vs. free enterprise. The Korean War was fought by the UN against the extension of Chinese Communism. The Vietnam War was also a proxy war, with the North supported by the USSR.
If you're talking about the Soviet War (Russian War) in Afghanistan in the 1970s/80s, yes. The US even SUPPLIED Afghan Rebels with anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles to shoot down Russian aircraft with. If you're talking about the US "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan which commenced in October 2001 (because of 9/11) then no. The current military campaign in Afghanistan is to eliminate terrorism...communism no longer became an issue AFTER 1990. Communism still exists, but it's strictly a paper tiger now. No teeth, no meaning.
No it wasn't. Communism wasn't even an issue when WW1 broke out.
Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Bay of Pigs, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Hungarian Revolution of 1956, Prague Spring uprising, Greek civil war after WWII, Mao's Long March, Russian Revolution, Hitler's invasion of Soviet Union.
Anything after Vietnam (1975) doesn't concern communism. Vietnam was the last straw!
rebuilding the war-torn nation of Afghanistan
One of the biggest issues Afghanistan faces in the future is a civil war.
The war in Afghanistan was not an issue for American in the late 1970's.
