Was Afghanistan colonized or was it a colonizer?

Answer 1

Not Really, the British occupied Afghanistan 3 separate times but they couldn't keep a hold on it. Colonization is not occupation, Colonization is a whole different ball game. Colonization occurs when the people submit to the will of the occupiers. There is no British symbol left in Afghanistan. They did not build any railroad systmens like they did in India and Pakistan, Afghanistan does not have a British form of government like they have in India and Pakistan. They do not have English as the national Language like Pakistan and India. When the British left Afghanistan on 3 separate times, they were forced out with no negotiation. The Afghans are known to be fiercely against occupation and at the same time to be the most hospitable people int he world. It is rooted in their culture. Historians have only stated that the only people that conquered Afghanistan were the Mecedonians. Alexander the Greats symbols are still visible after 2000 years later. Kandahar is named after him. Can you name a city that was named after a British officer or any other symbol that is visible in the country.

Answer 2

no.

Italy and Ethiopia had a war because Italy wanted to conquer Ethiopia but Ethiopia won and so was not colonized,

but after a while, Italy came back and had a war in which they occupied Ethiopia for 5 years, but that was never officially a colonization because Italy never had control of Ethiopia during those five years

they were actually fighting in those five years, in which historians got it wrong and called it a colonization.

the Italians never were able to establish and extend their government into Ethiopia under their rules which is why it was not a colonisation

Answer 3

Iran was attacked by the Arabs, the Mongols, the British and the Russians. While the Arabs and Mongols were successful in conquering Iran, they did this prior to the development of the colony as a political method of organization. Additionally, Iran reasserted itself as a center of power in less than century after the conquest. Concerning the British and the Russians, Iran was not colonized because Iranians (Persians) never let their country be colonized, continually resisting the Russians in the north and the British in the southeast. Iranians always saw their own country's flag ever since.

Answer 4

Never, they fought 3 battles with the Britons and won all of them. The same with Russia. They are your best friends or your worst enemies like Rambo said. Even though Europeans have never done it though, Mongols, Persian Dynasties and many other eastern nations

Answer 5

NEITHER

Afghanistan served as a buffer state between British India (a British colony) territory that would become Pakistan and the Russian Empire (later Soviet Union) territories of Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. As a result, it was allowed to retain its independence, but there were some points where it became a British Protectorate, giving Britain limited authority in Afghanistan. However, the country remained independent and far too weak to expand its influence elsewhere.

Answer 6

No. However, Iran had a Russian sphere on influence in its north and a British sphere of influence in its southeast.

Answer 7

They didn't
