SHERE ALI KHAN (1825-1879)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 844 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHERE ALI KHAN (1825-1879) , Amir of Afghanistan, was born in 1825, one of the younger sons of the amir Dost Mahommed, whom he succeeded in 1863. For some time after his succession Afghanistan was in a state of anarchy, and his rebellious half-
brothers
  overran the country while he remained at Kandahar
mourning
  the loss of a favourite son. At length, however, the capture of Kabul in 1866 roused him to action; but in spite of his own bravery he suffered general defeat until 1868, when he regained Kabul. Supported by the viceroys of India, Lord Lawrence and Lord Mayo, Shere Ali remained on good terms with the British government for some years; but after the rebellion of his son Yakub
Khan
 , 187o-74, he leaned towards
Russia
 , and welcomed a
Russian
  agent at Kabul in 1878, and at the same time refused to receive a British mission. This led to
long
  negotiations, and ultimately to war, when the British forced the Khyber Pass in November 1878, and defeated the amir's forces on every occasion. Shere Ali fled from his
capital
  and, taking
refuge
  in
Turkestan
 , died at Mazar-i-Sharif on the 21st of
February
  1879.
