Kingdom of Afghanistan

The Kingdom of Afghanistan (Pashto: د افغانستان واکمنان‎, Dǝ Afġānistān wākmanān; Persian: پادشاهي افغانستان‬, Pādešāhī-ye Afġānistān) is a constitutional monarchy in southern and central Asia established in 1921 as a successor state to the Emirate of Afghanistan. It was proclaimed by its first king, Amanullah Khan, three years after his accession to the throne as a direct result of Afghanistan's victory over the British Raj in the Third Anglo-Afghani War.
The Kingdom has friendly relations with the Soviet Union and was used as a corridor for Indian Socialists to seek refuge from the British administrators of India.
