Rulers
The line of President of Afghanistan - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burhanuddin Rabbani | 1992 – 2001 | 9 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone | |
| Hamid Karzai | 2004 – 2014 | 10 years | ending not on record | |
| Ashraf Ghani | 2014 – 2021 | 7 years | served out the term, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |
| Amrullah Saleh | 2021 – — | no end recorded | ending not on record |
4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 1992 – 2021. Only 29 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.70, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Chief Executive Officer of Afghanistan, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
| Abdullah Abdullah | 2014 – 2021 |

What happened within it, by century
Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 7 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.
