Afghanistan is the graveyard of great empires.

Afghanistan is conquered by many ones in past and still many ones are trying to conquer Afghanistan.

But no one can have conquered Afghanistan temporary.

Afghanistan is the landlocked country and having very important geological position its allow accesses to central Asia and also to India through Khyber Pass.

It also provides easy way to Pakistan which was uses by India for years to damage Pakistan. Kulbhushan Yadav is the best example I use to prove India sponsored terrorism to upset Pakistan mostly Baluchistan province to promoting anti Pakistan Campaigns.

Otherwise Afghanistan is conquered by following empires and powers.

Persians

Very first Persians rule Afghanistan for short time.

Alexander the Great

And then Alexander the great try to rule Afghanistan who never defeated in war. A great commander taught by Aristotle according to books.

Second Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate Umar

And guys then invaded by its west part by second Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate Umar pronounced as Omer, who was the companion of Hazrat Muhammad and the successor of Abu Bakar. 

That the reason Afghanistan is a Muslim country. They turn most of the inhabitants of Afghanistan to Muslims.

After that they extend through Afghanistan to China boarder then Spain and then North Africa, Middle east, part of central Asia, South Asia, part of southern Asia and east southern past of Europe.

Is because of Umar Islam flourished all over world.

Mongolian

And then Invaded by Mongolians. In the Mongol invasion of Khwarezmia (1219-1221), Genghis Khan and established Mongolian Empire.

Their Armies Slaughter natives of Afghanistan in Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad and etc.

Tamerlane (Timur)

And then Afghanistan is conquered by Tamerlane (Timur) neighboring Transoxiana (roughly modern-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and adjacent areas). Timiur caused great devastation in Afghanistan and killed 1.6 million peoples.

Mugal Empire
After that Mughal empire caused disintegration of Timur and some part of Afghanistan is rule by Mughal empire and in 1506 slow integration of Mongolian empire then Babar the Mughal ruler rules Afghanistan and Pakistan and also India.

Sikh (Ranjit Sigh)

Then Sikhs rules Afghanistan in 1846 Battle of Jamrod which was fought between Sikh leader Ranjit Sigh and Afghans Leader Emir Dost Mohammad. Emir Dost Muhammad lost his most of area and Ranjit sigh establish his strong rule in Kabul.

British

Then we obviously know that British comes in power game and extending its colonies all over world but know just restricted to England. England also try to rule Afghanistan with Three Anglo-Afghans Wars from 1838 to 1880.

There main objective is to restricted the overwhelming of Russians.

Russians

Then Russians in Game supported new Afghans Government after the Saur Revolution in 1978. And then there is virtual civil war between Afghan Government and anti-Government which mostly are supported by United State.

United State trained and funded Afghans Mujahedeen(militant) who opposed Afghan’s Government.

And war between USSR which supported by Afghans government and between United State and its sponsor Mujahedeen and don’t forget the Pakistani Phustaons which are supported by ISI. ISI of Pakistan is also supported United State to Backed Russia and Afghans Government.

So Russia lose and fall of USSR and Afghans Government, Result in no Government and no political

Structure in Afghanistan. And great United State just have to back his enemy Russia, they don’t mind Afghanistan live or die.

United State Let the armed Mujahedeen to murder innocents. Result infrightening between Afghans Mujahedeen result in the bloody force Taliban.

NATO United State

And then NATO of United State invaded Afghanistan to take revenge of September 11 2001. That was 100 percent sure Afghans Taliban was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Why Afghans Taliban planed 9/11. The answer is very simple what Americans did in Cold war with Afghanistan that was the response from Afghan Taliban.

And from response from the 9/11 United State force NATO Invaded Afghanistan. NATO said that they fought Taliban with horses. They said that Taliban have tanks and they have horses.

Because this brave effort of NATO force of United State World Trade Center WTO tribute a statue in which one NATO militant riding horse.

And Americans still in Afghanistan and didn’t get any progress.

Conclusion

Every powerful empires and super powers tries to rule Afghanistan but actually they didn’t they are just guest for some days.

The reason they didn’t able to rule is because Afghanistan is mountain’s area very difficult to conquer.

And its tough weather. 

The other reason is that every empire except from few they all try to humiliate Afghans. And almost all above use for their own benefits.

But from above its clear that if you want to remain in super power you have to humiliate Afghanistan.
