It's an unfortunate country located precisely on the crossroad between Persia, India, and Central Asia.
It's the sort of thing that happens when you take a rump state that roughly overlapped with a few historical "empires" (big kingdoms) and only enjoyed nominal sovereignty over most of its territory, decide to freeze in time the arbitrary borders, keep them even after the monarchs whose property they were supposed to delimitate got overthrown etc

What the fuck is with this Afghan fetish? Afghan troops aren't more ferocious or resistant to outside rule than Vietnam, and Vietnam isn't called the graveyard of empires.

most definitely central asia, if it isn't then what is central asia even

it's not that they were great defenders but that the region was historically hard to rule.

It's not the only place in history that is difficult to rule though. Indochina, Roman Dacia, and Algeria all spring to mind.

>>2892304
no but they have been empire annoyance world champions forever.
