![Page 13: Iran. Mohammed Mossadeq Muhammad Reza-Shah Pahlavi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f305503460f94c4b391/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why?
1. The new communist regime in Afghanistan was threatened with overthrow?
2. The Afghan mujahedin (muslim holy warriors) might spread their ideas to other Soviet Muslim republics.
3. Soviets wanted control of the Strait of Hormuz through which passes much of the world’s oil.

Similar to Vietnam
• 120,000 Soviet troops sent
• 15,000 died
• No end in sight
• Morale and drug problems
• Government told people little
• Afghans received arms from US
• Soviets pull out in 1989

Why did communism collapse?
• Doomed from the start? (No incentive for new ideas)
• Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms– Last Soviet leader– Glasnost: greater freedom of speech– Perestroika: Economic restructuring– Soviet Union collapsed
