Afghanistan
is a republic in south-western Asia, bordered on the
north by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan;
on the east by China and the part of the disputed
territory of Jammu and Kashmîr controlled by
Pakistan; on the south by Pakistan; and on the west
by Iran.
Afghanistan was a monarchy from 1747 to 1973, when
the king was overthrown by military officers and the
country was proclaimed a republic; the republic
dissolved in 1992 as the country erupted in civil
war. Afghanistan lies across ancient trade and
invasion routes from Central Asia into India. This
position has been the greatest influence on its
history because the invaders often settled there.
Today the population includes many different ethnic
groups. Most of the present borders of the country
were drawn up in the 19th century, when Afghanistan
became a buffer state, or neutral zone, between
Russia and British India. Kâbul is the capital and
largest city.
