August 19th 1919, the day Afghanistan gained its Independence... Kind of... Afghanistan’s independence can actually be traced back to 1747 when Ahmad Shah Durrani formed the Durrani Empire. Or even to 1709 when Mirwais Hotak pushed the Safavid Persians out of the country. So what’s so special about 1919?
Well, it’s when the Afghans, under the rule of Amir Amanullah regained full sovereignty by taking back control over their foreign affairs from the British.
