1) True. Coalition airstrikes (with US-led special forces and the Northern Alliance ground offensive) routed the Taliban regime in late 2001 and it lost control of Kabul and most cities within weeks to months.
2) True. The Taliban regrouped as an insurgency over the following years, retook control of parts of the countryside, and violence continued throughout the 2000s and 2010s (culminating in their full return to power in 2021).
3) True (with important caveats). After the Taliban’s 2001 ouster, a new constitution and elections were held and women were able to vote and run for office—though gains were uneven, fragile, and largely reversed when the Taliban regained power in 2021.
