Rawalpindi Agreement

Rawalpindi Agreement

• The Anglo-Afghan Treaty of 1919, also known as the Treaty of Rawalpindi, was a treaty which brought the 3^rd Anglo-Afghan War to an end.
• It was signed on 8 August 1919 in Rawalpindi by Great Britain and Afghanistan. Britain recognized Afghanistan’s independence, and agreed that British India would not extend past the Khyber Pass and stopped British subsidies to Afghanistan.
• Afghanistan also accepted all previously agreed border arrangements with British India. Thus, the Treaty, once and for all, settled the question of British India’s western boundary with Afghanistan, which was earlier established in 1893 in Durand Line Agreement
