actually, you're wrong...again researchomatic.com Causes of Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan Conflict and the International System [Name of the instructor] October 30, 2012Executive Summary The Soviet Union began receiving requests from the government of Afghanistan during 1953 for economic and military assistance. The growing insurgency and rebellious groups were a threat to the stability of the current government. The present government based on ideas of modernism was facing strong resistance from religiously conservative groups and from the majority of population. On the opposing side of this modernism were the Mujahideen, who wanted an Islamic government inside Afghanistan. The present Afghan government invited the Soviet Union to assist them in handling the worsening situation and to control the growing instability. The Soviet Union took this as a chance to have a control over their neighbouring country which would eventually secure their border too. The situation worsened when the Mujahideen announced a holy war against the intruders and against the modernized government. United States took this opportunity to supply the Mujahideen with weapons, because of their rivalry with Soviet Union. Pakistan provided the Mujahideen with training because the present Afghan government was a threat to Pakistan's national security. Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 and not familiar with the terrain and harsh climate, they found it hard to sustain the war. On the other hand, the Mujahideen were mountainous people and mastered the art of guerrilla warfare. They not only made it hard for the Soviets to fight but they also pushed the Soviets to pull out. The pullout meant that the current government of Afghanistan stood dissolved and the Mujahideen imposed a new Islamic government in Afghanistan.
