    I am from India and I have to salute the afghans for their respect. And as an answer to your question, I believe that the date should be 1747 as one of the most charismatic leaders of the 18th century lead the Pashtun nation and turned it from a failed state to an asian power. We Indians never truly see the other side of things. When I read Durr-e-Durrani’s biography, I was really surprised to see the hardships he endured. Long live the afghan nation🇦🇫🇦🇫

      The Pashtun are problems in Afghanistan. In 1900s this guy’s grandfather was Amir of Afghanistan by British and the whole real afghan king before him been imprison or killed and 62% of only one ethnicity has been killed by that Amir and sold land to British India till up to date its unsolved problem between Afghanistan and today’s Pakistan even mentioned here durrand line . And taliban is the same as 1900s Amir wild ,inhuman ,killer and will sell afghans land to Pakistan and solving the durrand line creating a new line . And admin aman ullah khans main forces were from Hazara ethnicity bcz aman khan regretted of what happened in 1903 with Hazara and noristani and others. He made a mistake 9 months of away from country it’s true he brought light in Afghanistan and queen surya when appeared like western to the public it wasn’t acceptable for specially Pashtun and even today how Pashtun are one example taliban in 2050 Pashtun will be the same no changes . So kalakani took the advantage coped this brave man scape. I commented this it’s not about hate it’s about anger Pashtun ruled Afghanistan since long and every day it get worse if Pashtun are like this so let other rule and maybe there will be changes in Pashtuns . If there is one lover for this land like aman it’s not acceptable and the rest betrayer cowards if look through the Afghanistan history check the negative side of it too and it happened by Pashtun

    The root cause of the Third Anglo-Afghan War lies long before fighting commenced. For the British in India, Afghanistan was seen as a threat. The British worried about Russian intentions, concerned that an invasion of India could be launched by Tsarist forces through Afghanistan.[8] This period became known as the Great Game. In an effort to negate this threat, the British made numerous attempts at imposing their will upon Kabul, and over the course of the 19th century fought two wars: the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842) and the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880).[9][10]
    The end of the Second Afghan War in 1880, marked the beginning of almost 40 years of good relations between Britain and Afghanistan, under the leadership of Abdur Rahman Khan and Habibullah Khan, during which time the British attempted to manage Afghan foreign policy through the payment of a large subsidy.[11] While ostensibly the country remained independent, under the Treaty of Gandumak (1879) it accepted that in external matters it would "...have no windows looking on the outside world, except towards India".[11]
    In 1901, the death of Emir Abdur Rahman Khan led indirectly to the war that began 18 years later. His successor, Habibullah, was a pragmatic leader who sided with Britain or Russia, depending on Afghan interests.[12][13] Despite considerable resentment over not being consulted over the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907 (Convention of St. Petersburg), Afghanistan remained neutral during the First World War (1914-1918), resisting considerable pressure from the Ottoman Empire, which entered the conflict on the side of the Central Powers; the Ottoman Sultan (as titular leader of Islam) called for a holy war against the Allies.[14]
    Despite remaining neutral in the conflict, Habibullah did in fact accept a Turkish-German mission in Kabul and military assistance from the Central Powers as he attempted to play both sides of the conflict for the best deal.[13][15] Through continual prevarication, he resisted numerous requests for assistance from the Central Powers, but failed to keep in check troublesome tribal leaders, intent on undermining British rule in India, as Turkish agents attempted to foment trouble along the frontier.[14] The departure of a large part of the British Indian Army to fight overseas and news of British defeats at the hands of the Turks aided Turkish agents in efforts at sedition, and in 1915 there was unrest amongst the Mohmands and then the Mahsuds. Not withstanding these outbreaks, the frontier generally remained settled at a time when Britain could ill afford trouble.[14]
    A Turko-German mission left Kabul in 1916. By that time, however, it had successfully convinced Habibullah that Afghanistan was an independent nation and that it should be beholden to no one. With the end of the First World War, Habibullah sought to obtain reward from the British government for his assistance during the war. Looking for British recognition of Afghanistan's independence in foreign affairs, he demanded a seat at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919. This request was denied by the Viceroy, Frederic Thesiger, 1st Viscount Chelmsford, on the grounds that attendance at the conference was confined to the belligerents. Further negotiations were scheduled, but before they could begin Habibullah was assassinated on 19 February 1919.[12][14][16]
    This resulted in a power struggle as Habibullah's brother Nasrullah Khan proclaimed himself as Habibullah's successor, while in Kabul Amanullah, Habibullah's third son, had also proclaimed himself Amir. The Afghan army suspected Amanullah's complicity in the death of his father. Needing a way of cementing his power, upon seizing the throne in April 1919 Amanullah posed as a man of democratic ideals, promising reforms in the system of government. He stated that there should be no forced labour, tyranny or oppression, and that Afghanistan should be free and independent and no longer bound by the Treaty of Gandamak.[11]
    Amanullah had his uncle Nasrullah arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for Habibullah's murder. Nasrullah had been the leader of a more conservative element in Afghanistan and his treatment rendered Amanullah's position as Amir somewhat tenuous. By April 1919, he realised that if he could not find a way to placate the conservatives, he would be unlikely to maintain his hold on power. Looking for a diversion from the internal strife in the Afghan court and sensing advantage in the rising civil unrest in India following the Amritsar massacre,[17][b] Amanullah decided to invade British India.[18][19]

    Can you make a short video maybe or something, on the last statement you made in this one. Afghanistan was the only independent Muslim country in 1919? If I think hard, I get it, with Turkey being broken down into international zones after WW1. It is an interesting period of time, with Afghanistan only beacon of freedom at that one short point of time.

Look at the Taliban they drove back Afghanistan back to 6 century when Islam appeared. And my comment is about anger not hate . This Pashtuns ruled Afghanistan for long no changes so pls leave for others to bring changes and a lilbet into Pashtun ethnic since Taliban took Afghanistan and bring back Afghanistan to 2020 by the time the world will live in 2100 . Live or let other live. The way you Pashtun lives it’s not the human way and keep trying to drag others to live into your way .

    The inevitability of invading British India is hard to understand. Just claiming independence and ceasing all compliance with British India would have had the same outcome as invasion (independence, end of British political interference, end of British subsidies coming in and formalised Durand line) minus the Afghan military defeats.
    The worst that might have happened is a British Invasion as a reprisal (unlikely considering British problems in India and post WWI) which would have gone the same way (or perhaps better for Afghans) as the defence of India from the 1919 invasion.
    The only thing Amanullah had to gain from a military invasion was moving the afghan border into British India, which failed at the cost of over a thousand Afghan, and 236 British & Indian lives.
