Russo-Afghan War

The Russo-Afghan War was a conflict that, in the alternate universe presented in the TACITUS series, replaced the Soviet War in Afghanistan during the 1970s-1980s. In this alterate timeline, the Christian Republic of New Russia launched what was considered by some to be a 20th Century version of the Crusades , with the government of New Russia being convinced that Christians within Afghanistan were being "oppressed" by extremist Muslim minorities within Afghanistan. In addition, the Federation, backing the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, also sought to crush the Muslim resistance in Afghanistan, but they saw the Russian invasion as a threat to their own interests, resulting in a Federation-Afghan alliance against both the Russians and the Afghan Muslims in the country.
