About This Course
Historians have considered the war as the most influential phenomenon for the rise and fall of societies. Therefore, historians have paid more attention to the war and warriors through their pens. This style of writing is more evident among Afghanistan’s historians. While, what has been achieved as a result of the war will be lost as a result of revenge. Historical experience has shown that the superior sustainability of the societies and governing systems relate to its scientific and cultural foundations.
