Abdur Rahman Khan ( Pashto : عبدالرحمان خان ) ( between 1840 and 1844 - October 1 , 1901 ) was Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901 . He is known for uniting the country after years of internal fighting and negotiation of the Durand Line Agreement with British Raj . Abdur Rahman Khan was the first child and only son of Mohammad Afzal Khan , and grandson of Dost Mohammad Khan . Abdur Rahman Khan re-established the writ of the Afghan government after the disarray that followed the second Anglo-Afghan war . [ citation needed ] He became known as The Iron Amir because his government was a military despotism resting upon a well-appointed army administered through officials absolutely subservient to an inflexible will and controlled by a widespread system of espionage ; and for his crushing of a number of rebellions by various tribes who were led by his relatives .
Afghanistan ( /æfˈɡænɪstæn , æfˈɡɑːnɪstɑːn/ ( listen ) ; Pashto/Dari : افغانستان , Pashto : Afġānistān [ avɣɒnisˈtɒn , ab- ] , [ a ] Dari : Afġānestān [ avɣɒnesˈtɒn ] ) , officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan , is a landlocked country in Asia . Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south ; [ b ] Iran to the west ; Turkmenistan , Uzbekistan , and Tajikistan to the north ; and China to the northeast . Occupying 652,000 square kilometers ( 252,000 sq mi ) , it is a mountainous country with plains in the north and southwest . Kabul is the capital and largest city . The population is 32 million , mostly composed of ethnic Pashtuns , Tajiks , Hazaras and Uzbeks . Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic Era , and the country 's strategic location along the Silk Road connected it to the cultures of the Middle East and other parts of Asia . The land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns , including those by Alexander the Great , Mauryas , Muslim Arabs , Mongols , British , Soviets , and by the United States with allied countries . The land also served as the source from which the Kushans , Hephthalites , Samanids , Saffarids , Ghaznavids , Ghorids , Khaljis , Mughals , Hotaks , Durranis , and others have risen to form major empires . The political history of the modern state of Afghanistan began with the Hotak and Durrani dynasties in the 18th century . In the late 19th century , Afghanistan became a buffer state in the Great Game between British India and the Russian Empire . Its border with British India , the Durand Line , was formed in 1893 but it is not recognized by the Afghan government and it has led to strained relations with Pakistan since the latter 's independence in 1947 . Following the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919 the country was free of foreign influence , eventually becoming a monarchy under Amanullah Khan , until almost 50 years later when Zahir Shah was overthrown and a republic was established .
Nasrullah Khan ( 1874-1920 ) , sometimes spelt as Nasr Ullah Khan , was shahzada ( crown prince ) of Afghanistan and second son of Emir Abdur Rahman Khan . He held the throne of Afghanistan as Emir for one week , from February 21 to February 28 , 1919 .
Habibullah Khan ( June 3 , 1872 - February 20 , 1919 ) was the Emir of Afghanistan from 1901 until 1919 . He was the eldest son of the Emir Abdur Rahman Khan , whom he succeeded by right of primogeniture in October 1901 . His grandfather was Mohammad Afzal Khan .
Amānullāh Khān ( Pashto : امان الله خان ) was the sovereign of the Kingdom of Afghanistan from 1919 to 1929 , first as Emir and after 1926 as Malik ( King ) . After the third Anglo-Afghan War , Afghanistan was able to pursue an independent foreign policy free from the influence of the United Kingdom . His rule was marked by dramatic political and social change , attempting to modernize Afghanistan on Western designs , which he did not fully succeed in , due to an uprising by Habibullah Kalakani and his followers . On 14 January 1929 , Amanullah abdicated and fled to neighbouring British India as the Afghan Civil War began to escalate . From British India he went to Europe where after 30 years in exile died in Zürich , Switzerland , in 1960 .
Soraya Tarzi , known mostly as Queen Soraya ( Pashto/Dari : ملکه ثريا ) ( November 24 , 1899 - April 20 , 1968 ) , GBE was the first Queen consort of Afghanistan in the early 20th century and the wife of King Amanullah Khan . Born in Syria , she was educated by her father , who was the Afghan leader and intellectual Sardar Mahmud Beg Tarzi . She belonged to the Mohammadzai Pashtun tribe , a sub-tribe of the Barakzai dynasty .
Muhammad Hasan ( born 1902 , date of death unknown ) was a Prince in the Afghanistani House of Barakzai .
Mohammed Zahir Shah ( Pashto : محمد ظاهرشاه , Persian : محمد ظاهر شاه ; 15 October 1914 - 23 July 2007 ) was the last King of Afghanistan , reigning from 8 November 1933 until he was deposed on 17 July 1973 . He expanded Afghanistan 's diplomatic relations with many countries , including with both Cold War sides . In the 1950s , Zahir Shah began modernizing the country following the example of Turkey . His long reign was marked by peace and stability that was lost afterwards . While staying in Italy for medical treatment , Zahir Shah was overthrown in a surprise coup in 1973 by his cousin and former prime minister , Mohammed Daoud Khan , who established a republic . He remained in exile near Rome until 2002 , returning to Afghanistan after the end of the Taliban government . He was given the title Father of the Nation , which he held until his death in 2007 .
Bahrain ( /bɑːˈreɪn/ ( listen ) ; Arabic : البحرين al-Baḥrayn Arabic pronunciation : [ al baħrajn ] ( listen ) ) , officially the Kingdom of Bahrain ( Arabic : مملكة البحرين Mamlakat al-Baḥrayn ) , is a sovereign state in the Persian Gulf . The island nation comprises a small archipelago centered around Bahrain Island , situated between the Qatar peninsula and the north eastern coast of Saudi Arabia , to which it is connected by the 25-kilometre ( 16 mi ) King Fahd Causeway . According to the most recent 2010 census , Bahrain 's population is over 1.2 million , of which around half are non-nationals . At 780 square kilometres ( 300 sq mi ) in size , it is the third-smallest nation in Asia after the Maldives and Singapore . The capital and largest city is Manama . Bahrain is the site of the ancient Dilmun civilization . It has been famed since antiquity for its pearl fisheries , which were considered the best in the world into the 19th century . Bahrain was one of the earliest areas to convert to Islam , in 628 AD . Following a period of Arab rule , Bahrain was occupied by the Portuguese in 1521 , who in turn were expelled in 1602 by Shah Abbas I of the Safavid dynasty under the Persian Empire . In 1783 , the Bani Utbah clan captured Bahrain from Nasr Al-Madhkur and it has since been ruled by the Al Khalifa royal family , with Ahmed al Fateh as Bahrain 's first hakim . In the late 1800s , following successive treaties with the British , Bahrain became a protectorate of the United Kingdom . In 1971 , it declared independence .
Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa ( Arabic : حمد بن عيسى بن سلمان آل خليفة Ḥamad bin ʿĪsā bin Salmān ʾĀl Ḫalīfah ; born 28 January 1950 ) is the King of Bahrain . He has been the monarch of Bahrain since 6 March 1999 , initially reigning as emir , and from 14 February 2002 , as the first king . He is the son of Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa , the previous and first emir . The country has been ruled by the Al Khalifa dynasty since 1783 .
Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa ( Arabic : عيسى بن سلمان آل خليفة ; 3 June 1931 - 6 March 1999 ) was the first emir of Bahrain from 1961 until his death in 1999 . Born in Jasra , Bahrain , he became emir upon the death of his father , Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa .
