 | | When Kabul fell in August, Shah Shuja, a grandson of Ahmad Shah, was installed on the Afghan throne in place of Dost Muhammad, who gave himself up to the British. |
 | | His son and successor, Zahir Shah, who was only 19 years old at the time of his accession, was dominated for the next 30 years by his uncles and cousins, particularly by his cousin and later brother-in-law, Prince Muhammad Daud Khan. |
 | | Zahir Shah proclaimed neutrality at the outbreak of World War II in 1939; in 1941, however, at the request of Britain and the Soviet Union, more than 200 German and Italian agents were expelled from the country. |
