Parwan Campaign (1840)
The Parwan Campaign took place from October–November 1840, as a result of Dost Mohammad Khan's rebellion against Shah Shuja and the British backed regime. The Parwan campaign had over 13 different clashes, and ended in an Afghan victory, with Robert Sale forced to abandon the campaign and return to Kabul.
