Question

I need the time span of when the Taliban era took place or when the Taliban invaded Afganistan. Thank you very very much! : )

Answer 1

As with most such movements the origin can be gray and vary between sources. A case can also be made that such a terrorist movement doesn’t have an era, they are simply a criminal organization:

That said. . . . . . . .
Since their rise in 1994, the Taliban have been a source of conflicting opinions. Their opponents have accused them of being created by Pakistan with the support of Saudi Arabia and the US oil company, UNOCAL, to secure trade routes to the Central Asia. Their supporters, on the other hand, hold that the Taliban are a religious and moral force that arose on their own from villages to save Afghans from the terror, lawlessness and corruption of Mujahideen era and to re-unite Afghanistan. The reality, however, seems somewhere in the middle. It is true that the immediate cause of the rise of Taliban was the fighting among Mujahideen groups that had virtually divided Afghanistan in separate fiefdoms resulting in carpet destruction of Kabul, killings of thousands of civilians, and general lawlessness. It is also true that once the Taliban entered the military and political stage, they received support from foreign sources to continue their military march.
Talib is an Arabic word, which literally means "one who is seeking," but generally Talib refers to "someone who is seeking religious knowledge." Taliban are students of "deeni madrassas" or religious seminaries, which have existed in Afghanistan, the Indian-Subcontinent, and the Central Asia since the arrival of Islam in these areas. (See also Excerpts from Mr. Barnett Rubins's article.) Both religious schools and taliban existed long before the modern system of schools and educations were introduced to Afghanistan close to a century ago. (See also The Afghan Taliban: Like It or Not, It Occupies Two-Thirds of Afghanistan and Shows No Sign of Weakening, by Musa Maroofi.) Many taliban also used to go to different religious scholars or local mullahs to acquire religious knowledge.
Although taliban have never been, until recent times, at the pinnacle of military and political power, they are not new to Afghanistan. They have been a component of the religious establishment and have always lived in the shadow of other military, political, and economic groups. Mullah Shor Bazar, an Afghan fighter known for inflicting heavy losses on the British during the Third Anglo-Afghan war of 1919, was also a talib, as were Mirwais Khan Hotaki, and Mullah Mushki Alam, who fought against the British occupation of Afghanistan. During the national struggle against the Soviet invaders, taliban fought alongside the Mujahideen mainly under the leadership of Mohammad Nabi, one of the seven sanctioned Mujahideen leaders in Pakistan (also known as "Peshawar Tanzeem" Leaders).

Answer 2

Sorry, Teach, you missed the movie, "Spies Like Us", Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd.

Russians invaded Afgan. in 1979; Jimmy C. boycotted the Olympics in 1980 in Moscow because of it. Russians lost a lot of sperm banks in that war.

Taliban assumed power in the late 80's and ran amok in the 90's sweetheart.

Take that test again, darling. Look up the Wikipedia.

Go Charles Wilson!

Answer 3

It was before the 70's because they fought the USSR in the 70's.
