Soviet-Afghan War

rdfs:comment

The Soviet-Afghan War (1978-92) was a civil war in Afghanistan that matched the Soviet Union and its Afghan allies against a coalition of anti-Communist groups called the Mujahideen, supported from the outside by the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. The war ended the Détente period of the Cold War, and resulted in a humiliating defeat for the Soviets, who pulled out in 1989, and for their clients who were overthrown in 1992.
