How did Soviet involvement in Afghanistan contribute to the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union?

History

Answer:

<h2>The Soviet army looked ineffective as casualties mounted. </h2>

Explanation:

It's true that the United States funneled military funding for weapons to the mujahideen, but that was typical for a Cold War conflict.  The significant reality that contributed to the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union was the fact that the mighty Soviet military machine no longer looked so mighty.  The Afghan resistance to Soviet-sponsored communism could not be overcome by the Soviet troops.  During the course of the decade-long conflict (from December 1979 until February 1989), approximately 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and another 35,000 wounded.

<em>The Washington Post</em> reported in 1988, after the USSR had been struggling in its war with the Afghans for nearly a decade: "Afghanistan is Russia's Vietnam -- possibly with even greater consequences for the Soviet Union."

Napoleon said: “When we fight, no matter in what country, it is a civil war we make.” Do you agree with him? If yes or no why? U
vladimir2022 [97]

This line is part of the “Military Maxims of Napoleon”, a collection of tenets on the art of war which are still an inspiration for military students. Through this line, he makes his war beliefs and tactics clear. We should also consider the meaning of civil war: it is a war which if fought between different groups of people (different in religion, political ideas, etc) of the same territory. Having this in mind we can mention for example The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). They consisted in a series of battles between France and other European powers, financed and usually led by the United Kingdom. Among these we can mention The Battle of Waterloo 1815, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, etc.

I agree in the sense that inevitably whenever there is a war there are 2 groups of a different nature, sharing the territory but fighting for a reason. I also believe that the “civil war they make wherever they fight” does not necessarily imply military participation. Nowadays, we see many countries, mainly Latin American ones, in which the different economic and political conflicts (“wars”) produce a gap and a clash between different national or local groups (“civil war”).

In 1852 a famous Argentine philosopher named Juan Bautista Alberdi said, "To govern is to populate." What do you think he meant
inysia [295]

The quote to govern is to populate means that in order to have an effective government, you need to have the right persons with you.

This quote tells the reader how Mexico wanted to populate the area but in order to do so they needed the right people.

The right people here would mean the people that are Anglos and Catholic. To them these were the right people that would make them not to repeat the mistakes of the Spanish.

Although you didn't include the picture, one of the reasons why Spanish Texas almost failed was because of hostile native Americans that lived there. These would be the wrong people that Alberdi was trying to make reference to.
