Abdul Rahman - Abdul Rahman (English spelling)

He was the fifth king (Amir) of the Barakzai dynasty (1819-1946) of Afghanistan. He was the grandson of the founder, Dost Muhammad. After losing a power struggle with his uncle, the second Amir, Sher Ali, and his son, the fourth Amir, Yaqub, he fled to Samarkand and became the Russian governor of Tashkent. After Sher Ali's defeat in the Second Afghan War and Yaqub's downfall, he became the Amir of Kabul with the backing of the British (1880). His greatest achievements were putting down domestic riots, tentatively establishing borders with Russia (1888) and India (1893), and building the foundations of present-day Afghanistan.
