Question

Why did Britishers were so interested in installing a puppet/ friendly government in Afghanistan? What was its outcome?​

Answer 1

For the world's three continents Afghanistan is a strategic hub. It was the world's first nation to remain free from colonial control in the 19th century and also played a buffering role between the USSR and British India. The USSR invaded Afghanistan to capture and increase it influence & also take the control of its minerals. The United States has been taking an interest in Afghanistan since then.

Explanation:

• Containment of China is a big target in Afghanistan for America. The United States has reached a new pact with the Afghan Government to keep an on China for 10 years.
• The second main goal for America in Afghanistan is to reach Central Asian nations' power and oil market, with which Afghanistan shares the border and these nations are filled natural gas and crude oil reserves. Afghanistan is the regional strategic centre with its China, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan , Uzbekistan, Iran, and Pakistan bordering on China.
• Central Asia and Iran are rich in deposits and can also exchange oil / minerals by roads and pipelines to the western markets by Afghanistan. Therefore, the US wants in Afghanistan a peaceful and cooperative government that cooperates with the United States
• The United States would also like to create a democratic administration in Afghanistan, acknowledging and shirking all of Afghanistan 's ethnic history, stabilise it and support its goal to ensure that the US retains both the oil and gas pipeline in Afghanistan. Since the U.S. decided to build a pipeline in Afghanistan, but did not get approval from the Taliban regime. They then needed a proxy government that encouraged America's presence in Afghanistan
