Mohammad Wali Khan Darwazi; The First Liberalist Foreign Minister of Afghanistan (During Amanullah Khan)

Abstract

History of Afghanistan is marked by conflicts and hostility between kings, sultans, princes and families. Therefore, the correct understanding of this history goes back to the scientific mentality of researchers and analysts of Afghanistan, which indicates scientific neutrality. The main issue of this research is that Shah Mohammad Wali Khan Darwazi has been misunderstood in the non-scientific literature of historical studies, in other words, numerous narrations and different interpretations have made it difficult to recognize this historical figure. Therefore, the central goal of the research is to try to understand it correctly in Afghan politics. Now the question is, what is the place of Mohammad Wali Khan in foreign policy and gaining Afghanistan's independence? The hypothesis of the present study considers Mohammad Wali Khan as the architect of independence and recognizes it as the most important person in ensuring Afghanistan's foreign relations. This research seeks to answer the main question in a historical way and conveys historical findings that would not have been possible without his presence in foreign policy and giving him the position of viceroy. The importance of this research is that it has tried to analyze the role and position of Mohammad Wali Khan in Afghan politics with scientific neutrality.
