At-A-Glance Afghanistan History and Geography Snapshot
A concise overview notes Afghanistan’s size about 245,600 square miles, rugged Hindu Kush in the northeast, and deserts to the west. It highlights the monist government under the People’s Democratic Party backed by the Soviet Union, ongoing civil war with Moslem insurgents since 1978, and Soviet intervention from 1979 to 1989 under a UN accord.
