Which factor contributed to the lack of stability and freedom in Afghanistan?
1 answer
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 was a major factor that contributed to the lack of stability and freedom in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan lasted for nearly a decade and resulted in a civil war that lasted until the Soviet Union withdrew in 1989. The civil war caused massive destruction and displacement of the Afghan people, and the country has yet to fully recover from the conflict.
