Afghanistan played a critical part in the end of the Cold War. As we recall from the last episode, the government of Afghanistan was overthrown in the 1978 Saur Revolution. After the fall of the Afghani government to the Communist revolution, Afghanistan was still divided between many factions such as the Communists and Mujahedeen. In this episode, we will witness the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the years following the Saur Revolution.
