History
In 1978 the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was formed.
After a long war between the DRA and the Mujahideen, armed and funded by the USA, the government was lost to the Mujahideen terrorist organization in 1992.
In 1994, a group of students in Kandahar founded the Taliban, which managed to overthrow the USA puppet Mujahideen government by 1996.
In 2001, after Mujahideen members carried out the 9/11 attacks in New York, the USA invaded Afghanistan to support the Mujahideen, telling the American public that the Taliban were the real perpetrators. From 2002 to 2021 the Mujahideen had control of most of the country and was the officially recognized government by most countries.
In 2021, after US president Biden announced a full troop withdrawal from Afghanistan[1], the Taliban retook the entirety of Afghanistan with little to no fighting.
