The
Third Anglo-Afghan War (
Pashto:
د افغان-انګرېز درېمه جګړه), also referred to as the
Third Afghan War, began on 6 May 1919 and ended with an
armistice on 8 August 1919, and ended in an Afghan victory according to some authors. It was a minor tactical victory for the
British. For the British, the
Durand Line was reaffirmed as the political boundary between the
Emirate of Afghanistan and
British India and the Afghans agreed not to foment trouble on the British side. In the aftermath, the Afghans were able to resume the right to conduct their own foreign affairs as a fully independent state.
