United States bares some responsibility. In 2014 the United States slowly began to withdraw its combat troops from Afghanistan and handed the Afghan troops the main combat responsibilities.

The ways that East Asia and the Americas adapted to changes in the world were very different. This was due to the differing governmental structures, the direct and original reaction to the foreigners, and their reaction and adaptation to religious takeover. The differences in the original governmental structures are partially seen in how the different cultures reacted to the Europeans that were contacting the region. In the Americas, prior to Spanish colonization, empires frequently over took…
