—“What are geographic and natural factors constrains progress of afghanistan as state?”—
Land Locked. No meaningful rivers. Limited fertile land. Mountains that are very cold in winter, poor land that is very hot in summer, and worse, like the middle east sits at the nexus of multiple civilizations always at war. The systemic, universal disaster of any people conquered and colonized by arabs and islam, and the total destruction of the entire region by Mongol Conquest, a long period of decline, a failure of the british empire to civilize it as it had done in india. The russian conquest. The American ‘punishment’. I mean. really, it’s terrible. during through the end of the ice age it was a reasonably good territory. But it’s been a disaster since its peak.
