+Mohammad Zahir Shah ruled with assistance of his uncle as regent until 1946. Afghanistan has since emerged as a peaceful and stable nation in Central Asia. Economic growth has been slow but steady and the Kingdom shares good relations with it neighbors in particularly Iran. The experiment with democracy in the 1960's failed when radicalist parties on both the left and right attempted to seize power of the government. By 1975 the liberal constitution had been replaced with a more conservative one vesting absolute power in the monarchy.
