On December 24th, 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to support the pro-Soviet government against insurgent resistance.
This invasion would strike up a conflict that lasted a decade. The Soviet Union fought the fierce Mujahideen Insurgents, who were backed by the United States and other nations during the Cold War.
The Soviet–Afghan War ended in 1989 with a costly Soviet withdrawal. The defeat weakened the USSR and played a role in its collapse.
Soviet Casualties: (best estimate)
73,000 (dead + wounded in action)
415,000 hospitalized due to illness
13,714 Equipment lost
Afghan Pro-Soviet Government:
174,000 (dead+ wounded in action)
VS
Mujahideen Insurgents:
190,000 ( dead + wounded in action)
Afghan Civilian Casualties:
1-3 million (dead + wounded)
Around 5 million displaced
