Its power was limited due to the [[Afghan Civil War (1992–1996)|country's second civil war]], which was won by the [[Taliban]], who [[Battle of Kabul (1992–1996)|took control]] of [[Kabul]] in 1996. The [[Islamic state]] then transitioned to a [[government in exile]] and led the anti-Taliban [[Northern Alliance]]. It remained the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan at the [[United Nations]] until 2001, when the [[Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan]] was created and an [[Afghan Interim Administration]] took control of Afghanistan with [[US]] and [[NATO]] assistance following the overthrow of the first Taliban government. The Transitional Islamic State was subsequently transformed into the Islamic Republic, which existed until the Taliban seized power again in 2021 following a prolonged insurgency.
