Kandahar, Jalalabad and Kabul are cities in what country?

Kandahar, Jalalabad and Kabul are cities in Afghanistan. They are among the country's best-known urban centers, but they occupy different geographic and historical roles within Afghanistan.

Kabul is the capital and largest city, located in a valley in the east-central part of the country. Kandahar lies in southern Afghanistan and has long been an important cultural and political center, particularly in Pashtun history. Jalalabad is farther east, near the Kunar River's meeting with the Kabul River and close to the route toward Pakistan's Khyber Pass.

The question is asking for the country, not a province or region. Kandahar is also the name of a province, and Jalalabad is the capital of Nangarhar Province, which can create distractions in a quiz. Kabul is both a city and the name of the surrounding province. All three cities are located within Afghanistan's internationally recognized national boundaries, whose modern political shape emerged during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
