An Imaginary Line Used To Separate Afghanistan & Pakistan
In order to understand the complicated diplomatic relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan, we need to know more about the Durand Line. It was established in 1893 by the British Empire, back when Pakistan was still a colonized country and consisted of an imaginary line marking the border between the Afghan and British controlled territories.
Once Pakistan became an independent country in 1947, the Afghan authorities and the powers that be rejected the Durand Line deal. They tried to take advantage of the Pakistani post-war political instability. Needless to say, the conflict ultimately spiraled out of control.
