SOVIET UNION INVADED AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫⚓🇷🇺

🌍 LOCATION: AFGHANISTAN ( initially NORTHERN REGION AND KABUL)
⚔️ SOVIET- AFGHAN WAR (1979-1989)

On December 24, 1979, the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) invaded Afghanistan, on the invitation of the communist Afghan government and upholding the Soviet-Afghan friendship treaty of 1978. As Christmas night approached, Soviet troops entered Kabul on 280 transport aircrafts while hundreds of tanks and ground troops also entered through Northern Afghanistan. Initially, three divisions of the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, comprising more than 25000 troops. Soviet troops entered Presidential Palace in Kabul, killed Hafizullah Amin, and replaced Babrak Karmal as the new president of Afghanistan. However, the Soviet Union faced severe resistance from the Mujahideens and guerilla fighters. With support from Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan and Central Intelligence Agency of America, Mujahideens were able to defeat the Soviet Union. Soviet troops left Afghanistan in February 1989. The defeat led to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. During the 10 years of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, about 15000 Soviet troops were killed. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed and millions migrated to Pakistan and Iran. The war caused the rise of Taliban and Al-Qaeda in the years that followed.

General Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan, became third president of Pakistan in 1969, after Ayub Khan resigned.

Bhutto's People's Party, won a large number of seats in West Pakistan. However, Sheikh Mujib's Awami League, won an outright majority in East Pakistan. Bhutto refused to accept an Awami League government and, famously promised to "break the legs" of any elected PPP member, who dared to attend the inaugural session of the National Assembly. Bhutto demanded that, Sheikh Mujib form a coalition with the PPP. Under substantial pressure from Bhutto and, other West Pakistani political parties, Yahya Khan postponed the inaugural session of the National Assembly, after talks with Sheikh Mujib failed. In East Pakistan, Major Ziaur Rahman, at the direction of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, declared the independence of "Bangladesh" on March 26, 1971, after Mujibur was arrested by the Pakistani Army, which had been ordered by Yahya to suppress political activities. Meanwhile, Bhutto distanced himself from the Yahya regime. He refused to accept Yahya's scheme to appoint Bengali politician Nurul Amin as prime minister, with Bhutto as deputy prime minister. Indian intervention in East Pakistan led to the defeat of Pakistani forces, who surrendered on December 16, 1971. Bhutto and others condemned Yahya for failing to protect Pakistan's unity. Isolated and under severe pressure, Yahya resigned on December 20 and transferred power to Bhutto, who became the president, army commander-in-chief as well as the first civilian chief martial law administrator of Pakistan.

BATTLE OF DELHI ⚓

🌍 LOCATION : DELHI, SLAVE SULTANATE (now INDIA)
⚔️ TAMERLANE (TIMUR) INVASION OF INDIA -1398

In 1398, the Mongol - Turkish warrior Timur, ruler of Central Asia from his capital at Samarkand, found a pretext to strike south into India. His victory over the Sultan of Delhi confirmed the irresistible fighting qualities of his army and the awesome destructiveness that made him a legend of cruelty.
Timur was a muslim and he alleged that his co-religionist Sultan Nasiruddin Mehmood of Delhi in India was being too tolerant toward his Hindu subjects. On this excuse, he marched into the Indian subcontinent in late summer of 1398, his tribal steppe army massacred as they advanced. The Mongol invaders faced Sultan Mehmood’s army outside the walls of Delhi. The Sultan had a force of war elephants, the huge creatures with which the steppe warriors were unfamiliar and horses feared. Timur did a great thing to counter war elephants. He loaded camels with fire, and released them to spread fear among the sultan's elephants. The charge of Temoor’s horsemen was certainly decisive, reportedly scattering the Indian soldiers, "same as a hungry lion scatter a flock of sheep." Victorious in the field, Timur permitted his warriors to sack Delhi in a celebration of destruction from which the city took a century to recover.
