    The reason why Britain is constantly defeated by Afghanistan is that firstly, Afghanistan has obvious geographical advantages, and many ** cannot play a role here, secondly, the Afghan people are brave and good at fighting, and the internal cohesion of the tribe is relatively high, and they are united with the outside world, and finally, Afghanistan's ** is relatively sufficient, and it can produce itself**.

    Afghanistan is surrounded by Central, South and West Asia, and is a transportation hub, and such a geographical location is very special, and all the major powers want to compete for such a place and completely control this place. Such a geographical location has kept Afghanistan at the center of the fighting, so they have no choice but to protect themselves. Britain, on the other hand, fought Afghanistan three times in the 80 years from 1839 to 1919 until it gave up and recognized Afghanistan as independent.

    The people of Afghanistan took advantage of their country's geographical advantages and developed flexible tactics, hiding in caves in the face of enemy bombardment, and when they found that they could start a ground war, they formed small groups of 10 to 15 people and fought the enemy without mercy. Whether it is a child or an old man, they are a soldier, they can always control the movement of the enemy, almost every Afghan has **, ready for war all the time. Afghanistan is made up of tribes, and the management of the tribes is also very loose, even if the enemy army wins a tribe, it does not mean that the entire Afghan tribe has been conquered.

    Afghanistan is weak, and the peculiarity of its location has attracted a lot of wars, but the people living in Afghanistan have never thought of giving up and retreating, and the game between the big countries has not stopped, so it will always face war, and a peaceful life is out of reach.

    The rising sense of national independence, the humanistic characteristics of being fierce and brave, and the treacherous and steep geographical situation are important reasons why Afghanistan, a small and weak country, was able to defeat the powerful British Empire three times.

    First of all, all three Anglo-Afghan wars took place in the context of the rising national consciousness of Afghanistan and independence. During the first Anglo-Afghan war of 1839-1842, when the British colonizers invaded Kabul, used violence to maintain their rule, and plundered the wealth of the people, the most angry thing for the Afghan people was to seduce local women. The British colonizers allowed the military officers' wives and children to accompany their families, and for the Afghan people, this was undoubtedly a preparation for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest and rule for a long time.

    During the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the signing of the Treaty of Gandamak aroused a wave of righteous indignation in Afghanistan, which also led to a nationwide anti-British fire. During the Third Anglo-Afghan War, although Afghanistan was at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, it fought for independence and freedom, with high morale and bravery, and received the encouragement of the Indian national liberation movement, and finally defeated the well-equipped British army.

    Most of the ethnic groups with large populations in Afghanistan are cross-border ethnic groups. The unique geographical location has created important conditions for Afghanistan to become a cross-border ethnic settlement area in Central Asia. Coupled with a long-term closed environment, lack of resources, and economic poverty, Afghans have a fierce and aggressive character, which is manifested in the heroic fighting of the three wars against the British.

    Afghanistan's rugged geography, especially the Kabul River valley and the Khyber Pass, is India's main communication route to Central Asia, with the exception of the basin near Jalalabad, which is flanked by mountains and steep roads. The valley is filled with large caves, criss-crossed and unfathomable, and with a little modification, it is the perfect battlefield for guerrilla warfare. This is also the site where 10,000 British troops retreated and were completely annihilated by the Afghan army during the First Anglo-Afghan War.

    The Afghan people were familiar with the complex terrain and made full use of the steep valley caves, which dealt a heavy blow to the British army.

    That's because Afghanistan is united by the unity of his people, stubborn resistance, plus the accumulation of experience from previous battles, and the subsequent change of Afghan policy. In fact, it was because Britain was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

    The British Empire once dominated the world, but in the end it failed to take Afghanistan, and there are three main reasons - unjust war.

    Unjust wars

    In fact, France and Britain have always been the two hegemons in Europe, and it is self-evident that their politics are not suitable, in other words, they both want to suppress each other's politics and make the other side subordinate to themselves and obey themselves. In fact, neither of these two countries has absolute power to destroy the other, so political discord is a trigger for their war! And this time Britain invaded Afghanistan, France also knew that France did not support Britain's invasion of Afghanistan from a political standpoint, because the occupation of Afghanistan is an unjust act!

    Britain was interfered with by France

    Although Britain and France belong to the same capitalist countries, their ideologies are different. In other words, the higher degree of capitalism at that time belonged to Britain, because Britain had invaded most of the colonies in Asia and America, so Britain was more economically powerful, and at the same time, France was also Louis intellectual, he also wanted to develop the economy very much, so he was able to plunder the wealth of Britain. France has long heard about the war of aggression in Afghanistan, so it is impossible for France to let Britain easily take Afghanistan, so all kinds of obstructions to Britain!

    Stubborn resistance in Afghanistan

    It should be said that the war of the British invasion of Afghanistan lasted for a very long time, and if the front was too long, the British economic supply would not be able to keep up, and the economy could not keep up with the opportunity to give Afghanistan the opportunity to turn over, so Afghanistan ** also took advantage of this opportunity to stubbornly resist the British, and even beat the British out of Europe, so the British did not win the war!

    The British mainland is located in the northwest corner of Europe, while the colonies are all on other continents, thousands of miles away from the mainland, and the distance is far away, which seriously affects the projection and release of Britain's influence on the colonies. Its colonies are all thousands of miles away from other continents, and this long distance greatly hinders the communication between its headquarters and its colonies. As a result, even if Britain has a highly developed civilization, if it wants to use it as a base to project influence on the colonies, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced, and stability and sustainability cannot be guaranteed.

Britain is the worst country in recent years, and it can even be said that since World War II, Britain's international status has begun to plummetThe empire on which the sun never sets has completely turned into an empire on which the sun sets. First of all, the first reason is that Britain did not seize the opportunity of the second industrial revolution, and secondly, although Britain has dominated for nearly a hundred years, with the rise of surrounding Germany, Britain was forced to fight many large-scale wars with Germany, so that Britain's national strength was consumed on a large scale. Finally, after World War II, there was an earth-shattering wave of independence in the world, and the British colonial system completely collapsed. >>>More
