[00:00:00]How did the world's strongest military spend 20 years in Afghanistan and still lose the war?

[00:00:08]After 9/11, America invaded Afghanistan to destroy Al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power.

[00:00:16]At first, the US military defeated the Taliban quickly.

[00:00:20]But the war didn't end.

[00:00:23]The Taliban [music] disappeared into mountains and villages, then slowly returned through guerrilla warfare.

[00:00:30]Meanwhile, America spent trillions of dollars trying to rebuild the country and train the Afghan army. [music] But corruption, weak leadership, and endless conflict kept growing.

[00:00:43]Many Afghan soldiers stopped fighting once US troops began leaving.

[00:00:48]Then in 2021, the Taliban captured [music] city after city within days. And after 20 years of war, America [music] withdrew.

[00:01:00]So, was it really a military defeat or proof that even superpowers [music] cannot control a country forever?
