Abstract

The establishment of the Soviet system in 1957 and the Kolesov events of 1918 forced Emir Alimkhan to focus on the military. Emir started the preparation of war tools and soldiers. The salaries of the military have been increased several times. Emir Alimkhan conducted negotiations with the British, Tibetans on the creation of a military alliance. New military groups of the 1917-1920 were the military-volunteer of Afghan groups, the second were Ibrahim’s army which the Prisoners, thieves had been given military group of “sherbachas”. It was very difficult to manage the conflicts of the groups, even they asked help from Soviet Government for some problems. These situations had accelerated the demolition process of Emirate.
