Circa 1980's, Afghanistan: The rugged, inhospitable terrain of Afghanistan. Insurgent groups in Afghanistan (known collectively as the mujahideen) fought a nine-year guerrilla war against the Soviet Army and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government throughout the 1980s, mostly in the Afghan countryside. In what was a Cold War-era proxy war, the Mujahideen were backed by the United States, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Kingdom.
