Sir Mortimer Durand Made an Agreement with The Amir Of Afghanistan in the Year 1896 Popularly known as Durand Line Agreement.In This Regard if You Look at the Agreement it States The Sphere of Influence Between Afghans and British
This Clearly reflects that The Area that Becomes Pakistan was in British Control not under Afghanistan Control From
The Demarcation of 800 Kms of Area was Done From 1894 to 1896 and in 1896 the Agreement was reached Defining the sphere of Borders.
King Amanullah Declared Independence and there was the 3rd and Last Indo-Afghan war where The Afghans achieved Full Independence a Treaty was signed at Rawalpindi in Augast 8 1919 which was endorsed Again in 1921 on 22 November.
This is very Interesting that the Durrand Line Treaty embarked only 800 out of the Total 2430 Km Border between Afghanistan Pakistan.
Ethnic Pashtoon Leader Bacha Khan was in favor of a United India.He was not in Favor of a United Pashtoon or United Afghanistan.
