28 feb 1980 anni - Soviet-Afghan war

Descrizione:

A Cold War proxy war between the Soviet-supported communist People’s Democratic party of Afghanistan and CIA-supported insurgent groups called the Mujahideen. Soviet forces withdrew in ‘88 and ‘89. This war was instrumental to the fall of the Soviet Union because it created a rift between the soviet military and the communist party, undermined the idea of the Red Army as unbeatable, and represents the US’s reign as a global superpower imposing its neoliberal ideology across the globe.
