AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan is a landlocked country in South-Central Asia, bordered by Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China. It sits at a historic crossroads between Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, a position that made it a significant waypoint on the Silk Road and a recurring theater of conflict throughout its history, from the campaigns of Alexander the Great to the Soviet invasion of 1979 and the subsequent decades of internal and international conflict.
