What does a 'war' end?

War in Afghanistan (2001–present) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80...

When specifically did that war end and nation building begin? Who won the war?

EDIT: Is the Global War on Terrorism / Operation Enduring Freedom a "war"? It certainly feels like an never-ending war.

You forgot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Civil_War_(1992%E2%80%9...

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War before that.

And a long list even before that.

I didn't omit the second - see my g'parent posting.

I left out the first because top-level thread comment concerned European 'Great Powers', and because I wanted to give a specific counter-point with the major world superpower.
