EspañolMOHAMMAD YAQUB KHAN
(Redirected from Yakub Khan)
'Mohammad Yaqub Khan' (1849 - November 15, 1923) was Emir of Afghanistan from February to October 1879.
He was the son of the previous ruler, Sher Ali Khan, and as governor of Herat Province rebelled against his father in 1870, and was imprisoned in 1874.
The Second Anglo-Afghan War erupted in 1878, leading to Sher Ali to flee, and eventually die in February 1879. As Sher Ali's successor, Yaqub signed the Treaty of Gandamak with the British in May, relinquishing control of Afghanistan foreign affairs to the British Empire. An uprising against this agreement failed in October, and Yaqub abdicated. He was succeeded by Amir Abdur Rahman.
