—the soviets failed in afghanistan partially because the afghan people fighting them were supported with money and weapons by who? a. chinese b. united states c. japan d. germany

The correct answer is B.

In 1979, the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan in support of the Afghan communist government. The Soviets took control over the capital, Kabul, and tried through the following decade to gain control over the whole country and its people. The opposers of the Soviet Union, known as mujahideen, were backed and supported by the United States.

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the CIA program to arm and finance the mujahideen. The USA condemned the occupation immediately, fearing the spread of communism. The first six-year assistant package amounted to $3,2 billion, equally distributed between economic assistance and military sales.  The U.S. also sold 40 F 16 aircraft to Pakistan that also participated in the war. The second six-year assistance program amounted to $ 4,2 billion.

The mujahideen benefited from the extended military support from the USA and other state,s which contributed to the final Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
