Imperialists & colonialists have always invented excuses for their encroachment into foreign lands. Mutual Defense, Liberation, Democracy, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Establishing Friendship are some of these excuses. The 2nd Anglo-Afghan war was also waged on one such excuses.
The British were acting on their bloody #GreatGame in Afghanistan to counter the Russians, their influence & the perceived threat of their invasion of British India. In 1839, they had already tried, but badly failed, to install their man Shah Shuja with the help of the Sikhs.
