WW1 had left the nations of Britain and France in financial and political ruin. They had been able to stop the rise of communism in their own borders but not fascism in Italy nor National Socialism in Germany. This was due to a fear of another oncoming war between these two. Which France and Britain were not financially or militarily prepared for. When the Great Depression hit, it had made matters worse allowing Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler to gain power through popular acts of civil engineering and employment. Britain and France in the meantime did not recover from the Great Depression till the start of WW2 when many males were conscripted to fight in the war.
The Soviets decided that Afghanistan is a country where they have big interest to have influence and control, so they attacked it. The Soviets though did not predicted that the invasion will be so hard. The mujaheddin were Muslim followers, with radical ideology. They were not willing to let the Soviets to take over their territory, especially because it was a Christian country, so they were fighting until their last breath. These people were actually the biggest defense of Afghanistan, being able to defeat the Soviets or at least make lot of troubles in numerous battles. The US intervened as well, and they provided large amounts of weapons for the mujaheddin in order to fend of their mutual enemy, and the mujaheddin managed to do so. The US made a big mistake though, as they gave lot of weapons to an extremist group of people, and left the weapons to them after the war, as well as not monitoring their action. Later, that weapon, by the same people, was used against the US, as these people became part of the terrorist organizations.
