In 1709, Mirwais Hotak and his Afghan tribal chiefs from Kandahar organized themselves and successfully freed their land from Mughal and Persian rule.[1] Mirwais built a large fortress for himself and turned the town of Kandahar to serve as the capital of the Hotak Empire.[2][3] After a long series of wars, this empire was eventually replaced by the Durrani Afghan Empire that was founded by Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1747.[4][5] Ahmad Shah Durrani is regarded as "the Father of the Nation",[6][7][8] Mirwais Hotak as "the Grandfather" and Mohammed Zahir Shah as the last King of Afghanistan.
