Hikma History | When The Afghans Lost To Britain | Afghan History @HikmaHistory | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The 19th century was a pivotal period for Afghanistan as a political state. Emerging out of the dying embers of the Durrani Empire, the state fought hard for its existence; first in the shape of civil wars between contenders and then surviving a British invasion during the First Anglo-Afghan War. Thanks in part to the diligence and acumen of Amir Dost Mohammad Khan, by the 1870s Afghanistan seemed to have a semblance of political stability that could be used as a platform from which to embrace the modernisation of the country. But Afghanistan’s destiny would be interrupted - as the country became embroiled in the rivalry between Britain and Imperial Russia once again. In 1878, British India would invade the mountainous country for the second time in 40 years - this time hoping to learn from the mistakes it had made the first time.
