The Soviet Union began its invasion of Afghanistan in the 17th century, and for what purpose was it?

For the better development of the Soviet Union, because in the 17th century, although the Soviet Union was strong, in general, the development of the Soviet Union in all aspects still required a lot of resources and productive forces. The invasion of Afghanistan can be said to be one thing that has many benefits for the Soviet Union. <>

In the 17th century, the Soviet Union was a very powerful political collective that could compete with the United States, and the Soviet Union and the United States were the two most powerful countries in the world. But human desires are endless, and when the Soviet Union was already so powerful, the Soviet Union still wanted to expand its territory, dominate the world, and become the hegemon that controlled all resources. <>

Afghanistan was a very rich country in the 17th century, with natural excellent resources and geographical advantages. Afghanistan is located at the east-west transportation point of the Eurasian continent, and any country in the world must pass through Afghanistan if it wants to obtain more resources and better dominate the world.

In addition, the dream of the Soviet Union itself to dominate the world has been going on for many years, and the dream of invading and adding Afghanistan to its territory has been going on for many years. If the invasion and possession of Afghanistan were successful, it would be a unique advantage for the Soviet Union to compete with the United States. If you want to dominate the world, you have to control the Indian Ocean, but at that time, to control the Indian Ocean, you had to control Afghanistan first.

This shows how important Afghanistan's geographical location is. <>

Every time a war breaks out, it's because it's a grabber for resources. The invasion of Afghanistan was also aimed at plundering resources. Human beings will always harm the interests of others for the sake of their own expanding desires, and at the same time, they will also harm themselves because of it.

Afghanistan's particularly important geographical location and abundant resources are a piece of fat meat, and the Soviet Union is the one who covets this fat meat and does not eat it in its stomach. The Soviet Union was not going to rest on its laurels.

Afghanistan does not have any significant resources, but its main goal for Russia is that he has a warm water port to the south, which is Russia's goal and Afghanistan's access to the sea.

In fact, regardless of the Soviet Union or the United States, he occupied Afghanistan for resources, and Afghanistan has a very rare resource called uranium.

At the end of the 70s of the 20th century, Soviet-Afghan relations reached the point of fighting each other. In the 70s, the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union appeared in a chess game in which the Soviet Union attacked the United States and defended it. The Soviet Union inherited the mantle of the old tsar's southward strategy, and Ming Yunru attempted to use Afghanistan as a base for southward expansion, and then opened a land passage to the Indian Ocean, threatening the oil-producing areas of the Middle East and encircling Europe in a roundabout way, and echoed with its Pacific strategy, and finally achieved its goal of stimulating world hegemony.

It can be seen that the Soviet Union's brazen invasion of Afghanistan was by no means an accidental and partial action, but a quiet part of its global strategy.

The purpose is different.

Afghanistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia and a neighbor of the Soviet Union and China. It has a very important strategic geographical location. From 1973 to September 1979, the Soviet Union staged three coups in Afghanistan to prop up a puppet regime.

But Amin**, who came to power after the third coup d'état in 1979, remains a stormy regime. In order to consolidate his rule, Amin purged the more pro-Soviet bannermen in the People's Democratic Party. As a result, the Soviet ruling circles considered their control over Afghanistan to be seriously threatened.

At the end of September, Brezhnev decided on an armed intervention in Afghanistan.

Bush announced to the world that the US military would fight a very special war against terrorism in Afghanistan in order to completely eliminate the Taliban forces behind the incident.

The geography is extremely unique and extremely important, and the position of the global strategic center of Central Asia makes the advance and retreat of any major power here enough to affect the world pattern.

In connection with the nuclear issue, Afghanistan is particularly special in being surrounded by nuclear-armed countries. The United States is so concerned about Afghanistan because it is not only worried that Afghanistan and the border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan will become the terrorist "strongholds" of the Taliban and the "al-Qaeda" organization. It is also worried that Pakistan's nuclear ** will fall into the hands of ****, causing serious consequences.

Maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army is also related to money, nothing can be separated from the economy, and American-style democracy, American-style values, and cultural export are promoted.

The Soviet Union wanted to connect to the Indian Ocean through Afghanistan and achieve its goal of global domination.

The main thing is that Afghanistan's geographical location is important. It is bordered by China to the east, the Indian Ocean in South Asia to the south, oil-producing areas to the west, and Russia in Central Asia to the north.

It took the Soviet Union ten years to take it.

A few months in the United States.

The USSR went home with numerous casualties.

Now the United States is still there, and there are many deaths.

The Soviet army is not adapted to mountain warfare, the terrain in Afghanistan is complex, and the resistance force is strong, and China and the United States provide intelligence and support to the resistance groups. The Soviet army in Afghanistan is not in line with the original combat mission, especially in Afghanistan, where it is difficult to control the place, and it often appears that the Soviet army can only control the world during the day and the resistance group at night. The Soviets could only hold strategic points.

Expand influence in the Middle East and deter Iran's Pahlavi Shah.

The then Afghan Amin ** did not listen to the Soviet Union.
