Summary: This paper addresses the way the Afghan monarchy, in its attempts to consolidate and expand the state presence across the country, established control over Hazarajat. It examines the strategy and tactics that the monarchy used to conquer the region and maintain control once the rebellions were defeated. It then presents a comparative analysis of Afghan state strategy to conquer the region in the 1890s and the Taliban war against the Hazaras in the 1990s. It is an exploration of the historical patterns and issues that remained at the centre of Afghan politics throughout the century.
