Third Afghan War - Afghan Peace Delegates
Amir Amanullah Khan ordered a ceasefire to the Third Afghan War on 3rd June 1919. His ambitious plans to reclaim Peshawar and throw the British out of India had failed. On the other hand the Treaty of Rawalpindi (1919) that brought the war to an end did recognise full Afghan independence and finally gave the Afghans the right to conduct their own foreign affairs. This may have been Amanullahs real goal. For the British, the Durand Line, long a contentious issue between the two nations, was reaffirmed as the political boundary separating Afghanistan from the North West Frontier. The Afghans also agreed to stop interfering with the tribes on the British side of the line. This card shows the Afghan peace delegates reaching the British lines. Date: 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Afghanistan and its relationship with India during the aftermath of the Third Afghan War. In the summer of 1919, Amir Amanullah Khan, the ruler of Afghanistan, ordered a ceasefire, bringing an end to his ambitious plans to reclaim Peshawar and expel the British from India. Despite the failure of his military campaign, Khan achieved his ultimate goal of securing full Afghan independence and the right to conduct his own foreign affairs through the Treaty of Rawalpindi, signed on November 8, 1919. The treaty reaffirmed the Durand Line as the political boundary separating Afghanistan from the North-West Frontier Province of India. The Afghans agreed to stop interfering with the tribes on the British side of the line, marking a significant step towards peaceful coexistence between the two nations. In this image, the Afghan peace delegates are seen making their way towards the British lines, symbolizing the beginning of a new era in Afghan-British relations. The Third Afghan War, also known as the Anglo-Afghan War of 1919, was a pivotal conflict that shaped the geopolitical landscape of the region. The treaty brought an end to decades of tension and conflict between Afghanistan and the British Empire, paving the way for a more stable and peaceful future. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the events that transpired during this period and the efforts made to establish peace between two neighboring nations.
