Description The Rebel Movement in Afganistan led by dethroned King Mohammad Zahir Shah greatly helped the Soviets in war against British Empire. During their secret meetings, in exchange for helping him restore the monarchy again, King Zahir Shah agreed to give Stalin the province of Badakhshan. Some afgans were disappointed by this decision but they stopped expressing their displeasure after What USSR gave them after the War has ended.

One of the important decisions made by Stalin before the War was to organise rebellions in different parts of British Raj:

- Kashmir Rebellion - major Islamic rebellion. About 2/3 of all military, humanitarian, political, religious etc. aid was send to Kashmir. Through this region USSR moved its massive armies straight into the Heart of the British Raj;

- Balochistan Rebellion - despite being the smallest rebellion with the 1/3 of all help it managed to disrupt the work of Karachi Navy Base with constant raids.

On February 1, 1945 the Red Army launched one of the biggest military operations in the world: Operation Nemo - invasion of British Raj. An operation that lasted a little more than 1 year (February 1, 1945 - May 8, 1946) completely obliterated all British and Raj Armies: in battles of Quetta and Peshawar the Commonwealth lost more than 500 thousand soldiers; from Quetta the 6th guard army, moved south and near the city of Khuzdar met with Baluchistan Rebellion soldiers; Moving along the Hindus River the 2nd Guard Army entered the western part of the city of Hyderabad; Marching through Indo-Gangetic Plain the 5th, 1st and 4th armies encircled New Delhi with 127000 soldiers under the command of Louis Mountbatten. Lord Mountbatten thought that they will receive help from south but under the Three Pur Rebellion his (and his men) hopes were crushed.

Japanese successful Offensive in 1944 forced Sinkiang Government to ask Soviet Union for help. After long negotiations Sinkiang officially joined USSR as a Uyghur SSR.
