Thread on the military campaigns against, and of the tribesmen of Waziristan.
3rd Anglo-Afghan War-1919: The Pashtun tribesmen had long been resisting the British-Indian occupation for a few decades on their own. When Amanullah Khan declared war against the British, it was natural for the Pashtun tribesmen to side with Afghanistan against a common enemy.
Amanullah Khan sent General Nader Shah to Khost to launch attacks against the British from the Kurram-Waziristan front. Wazir, Dawar, Mehsud tribes were at the forefronts in attacking military installations, piquets, forts and caravans of the British-Indian army.
