St. Petersburg received the peace signal released by the British, and Alexander III couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
The Afghan war could be described as starting strong but finishing weak; for the Russian Empire, it began with the might of a king but almost ended with the performance of a bronze.
In the beginning, with the support of the Afghan Guerrillas, the Russian Army was beating the British decisively, but unfortunately, the terrain of the Afghan region was not easy, and as the front lines continued to push forward, the logistical pressure on the Russian troops also increased drastically.
Furthermore, with the continuous arrival of British reinforcements, the Russian Army lost its numerical advantage, and the situation on the battlefield gradually began to change.
By now, the Afghan war had turned into a war of attrition. Faced with the financially and militarily powerful British, the impoverished Tsarist Government obviously could not cope.
