Emirate of Afghanistan

The Emirate of Afghanistan, began with the decline of the Durrani dynasty and succession of the Barakzai dynasty. This period was characterized by the expansion of European colonial interests in South Asia. The Emirate of Afghanistan continued the war with the Sikh Empire, which led to invasion of Afghanistan by British-led Indian forces who completely wiped out the Afghans in 1842 but didn't fulfil their initial war objectives.
