The Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and the war that followed.

Historical background

Soviet troops entered Afghanistan in December 1979 to prop up a friendly government. They faced Afghan resistance groups operating across difficult terrain and receiving support from several countries.

The Soviet military withdrew by February 1989. Fighting continued, and the Afghan government it had backed remained in power until 1992. The withdrawal ended Soviet military involvement in the conflict.
