Amazing video and it's kinda hilarious how Dost Muhammad just disappeared then found as a captive in Bukhara then to disappear again with a small army,only to randomly appear and surrender.
@@imrankh68 I would not be so sure. Between the U.S. failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. And Russia's current debacle in Ukraine. The next generation of diplomats and strategists will have much to learn from. Hopefully, they won't be bogged down by old thinking like the neocons that started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is easier to enter Afghanistan and conquer it but then you'll trap into it and the resistance will build gradually to haunt you. Afghanistan is literally the graveyard of empires.
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement I said the Greeks, not Alexander. The Greco-Bactrian Kingdom did fantastically but don't get me wrong though, Afghanistan for Afghans, death to invaders.
Just finished reading "The Dark Defile: Britain's Catastrophic Invasion of Afghanistan, 1838 - 1842. Now re-reading "Khyber: British India's North West Frontier. Very interesting subject.
It wasn't just the British troops that where killed while retreating but women and children, along with dozens of refugees, those that didn't die where enslaved.
Took over! as Maal e ghanim😃😃 (War Trophy)!Those English idiots didn't learn a lesson when George Washington's foot soldiers raped their women,using muzzle loaders as a prime weapon and bringing their women folk around like touring!
I just finished Beyond All Frontiers by Emma Drummond. Author did excellent job researching this time period. Marvelous example of historical fiction. Absolutely recommend.

@@danm7298 What a stupid answer. The same Brits starved Millions to death in Bengal and India. We Afghans prevented this by Massacring them before they started to take control of the country. And we are proud of that.
@@user-fy9el2zu5g look guy all i said is that they also killed 12,000 innocent ppl. the video only says about the 4500 soldiers killed. im dubious that the brits starved anyone to death that isnt true anyways.. so ur proud that the afgans killed 12,000 civilians? u prolly are.The british wouldve never murdered afgan civilians like the afgans did to those inoocent ppl so ur response is dumb. also the country woulda been better under british rule anyways. and if the british didnt take them over the russians would have. would u rather have russian occupation? If not for the Us afganistan would be under russian leadership to this day. still prolly woulda been better
Uncle sam was Britain's last chance to ever win a single anglo-afghan war. Brits are pissed. Come at us bro, again and again, a thousand times over. You just can't
@@mountainleopard5370i live on an Afghan mountain and when i look around I don't see a single british value that i can point at and say yeah the british have ruled here. Our core values are still intact, our land is here and we are stronger than ever. You could send prince harry again and murder a few more villagers. We shall resist even harder. Don't forget how at one ambush around the mountains of "Landi Kotal" (presently) we killed your whole British platoon leaving only 1 invader alive to take the message. You are a shiny apple with a rotten core. You can't shake our belief and our values. Have you really won?
Did you kill a single British civilian? Did you drop a single bomb on British soil? Did you destroy and airports or hospitals or govt buildings? Keep winning bro
The Sikhs that Lodhis ruled over? Khilji Afghans ruled over? Sher Shah ruled over? Or when they were plundered and under control of Ahmad Shah for a decade? Please be specific.
Yes, the treaty where the US and NATO retreats from Afghanistan while Afghans gets to revert back to medievel times and to indefinitely live like animals. Great victory for the Afghans! 👍
@@alee3832 You didn't answer my questions. Which part of what I said is untrue? I was raised to pursue the truth, no matter how harsh, offensive, and insulting it may be.
@alee3832 You still didn't answer any of my questions. Was there anything I said that is false? Did NATO pull out? Yes. Are Afghans living like dogs? Yes.
@@alee3832 A nation that: - Has came out of a 40 years old war - In Poverty - Uneducated - Rapidly "building and recovering" (hahahahaha) In other words... like dogs.
@@HikmaHistory ya I saw that. Henry Avery. First worldwide manhunt. After that, Britishers had to pay Aurangzeb. Last great ruler of Mughals. After that, Marathas were not able to protect their land from invaders like Abdali, Nadirshah and even Britishers
Their leader can have literally 800 women in his harem and they treat women like slaves but a woman fraternizing with a British person ok thats unacceptable lol!
That’s a Muslim leader having 800 Muslim women in his PRIVATE Harem, the difference in the way the Brits did it was……They were literally infidels in a Muslim land eyeing the Women of Pashtuns (The most protective and jealous of their women on the planet)…..not a good idea was it?
@@user-fy9el2zu5g The difference between the brits and muslims is the brits didnt treat their women like slaves and have 1 man take all 800 women in the village as slaves and not leave any for the rest of the population. the brits didnt bury women up to their heads in sand have have horses trample them until dead for minor offenses like sleeping with a man outside of marriage or leaving their house with out permission or leaving and not covering their face. they didnt kill their daughters for no reason. and they didnt marry their sisters and cousins.
@@danm7298 Ooff you broke character too soon Redshell, you have absolutely no right to talk about the treatment of Women by the Afghans, you certainly have forgotten your own history, Execution of Women was so common in England throughout it’s history…something Afghans have hardly ever done, Incest and Polygamy within Royal families and other Minorities. Don’t ever talk about treatment of women if you are a Brit. We Afghans never invented devices of TORTURE for Nosy and Gossiping Women, we didn’t execute or accuse Redheads or poor people with Birth marks for being Witches or Wizards. My blood boils when a European or Drunkard Brit talks about Women’s right. And of course we didn’t throw our Shit out the windows AND STOP LIKING YOUR OWN COMMENT… all that In conclusion to shut you up🤫.
@@user-fy9el2zu5g ok ur talking about british starving indians and now they executed women for no reason... you dont know anything about history or your being lied to. probably a combination of both. y would that shut me up you keep making stuff up. even if they did kill women for gossping which they didnt. thats horsecrap, that was in the medieval era. islam still does honor killings and treats women like slaves to this day.
@@danm7298 it’s not Horsecrap it’s indigestible truth. By your few comments I realized you have absolutely no knowledge of Islam and the rights it’s has given women. And Oh I think that Bengali Famine went right over your head. “Honor Kllings” I just realized you wasted so much of my time, Damn it I was talking to the wall.
Until Afghanistan becomes a nation, instead of a bunch of tribes fighting each other over territorial disputes, it will remain outside the community of nations. Unfortunately, the British then, and the Americans of recent history, did not recognize this simple truth. The people who are really hurt by this fact, are the average Afgan. They don't understand the concept of nationhood, and suffer accordingly. What a shame.
They suffered when others were enslaved. And before that they ruled. There is no single boss in Afghanistan and that problem is what everyone face there. From Alexander to America there is no single head to be cut and claim victor. Everyone there is ready to put a show.
The real hero of this war was mainly tajiks not pushtun, in this war 50000 Britain and Indian forces which were Punjabi under command Heri Singh, but the was busy fighting with Heri Singh in peshawor,but the tajik fought with Britain troops inside Afghanistan, they drove the British troops from Kabul toward Jalalabd,and pushtun saluted them,therefore, one medical doctor sevived,both Britain and Indian troops shame fully faced defeated and went back to India, please read Madam sale,historical notes, because she was general sale wife and she saw and wrote the history.
This is something of a myth that keeps cropping up and serves as a reminder to never ever trust Muslims. The British East India Company, invaded Afghanistan in 1838 to stop Russia expanding into the area. Some 21,000 troops, mostly Indian took part in the invasion, the Afghans were defeated and treaties sighned and most of the EIC army returned to India. In 1842 the remainder, about 4,000 soldiers and 12,000 civilians were granted safe passage to leave Afghanistan. These were then treacherously attacked and butchered.
