Afghanistan in the world
Afghanistan is a landlocked and mountainous country that is usually designated as being located in Central Asia,
but also part of South Asia. It connects South and East Asia with Central and Western Asia.
The country is the 41st largest in the world
in size. Kabul is the capital and largest city of Afghanistan, located in the Kabul province. Strategically located at the crossroads of major trade
routes, Afghanistan has attracted a succession of invaders since the sixth
century BCE.
The Hindu Kush mountains, running northeast to southwest across the country, divide it into
three major regions: 1) the Central Highlands, which form part of the Himalayas and account for roughly two thirds of the country's area; 2) the Southwestern
Plateau, which accounts for one-fourth of the land; and 3) the smaller Northern
Plains area, which contains the country's most fertile soil.
