The Soviet-Afghan War was an armed conflict that took place in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan from December 1979 to February 1989. The war saw the Soviet Union and the Afghan military fighting against the rebelling Afghan mujahideen, who were aided by Pakistan and various other countries and organizations. The conflict resulted in the deaths of one to three million Afghans, with millions more fleeing the country as refugees. The war had a significant impact on the Soviet Union, contributing to its dissolution in 1991, and has been referred to as "the Soviet Union's Vietnam" in retrospective analyses.learn more on wikipedia
