The DEADLIEST Retreat in British History

16,000 people marched into the mountains. Only one came out. In January 1842, the British Army of the Indus began a desperate retreat from Kabul. What should have been a 90-mile march to safety became one of the most catastrophic military collapses in history. Trapped in the frozen passes of the Hindu Kush, soldiers and civilians alike were betrayed by false promises of safe passage and swallowed by snow, hunger, and relentless ambush. Discipline collapsed. The column disintegrated. In this video, we trace the fatal decision to abandon Kabul, the destruction of the retreat through the mountain passes, and the final ride of William Brydon to the gates of Jalalabad. The 1842 retreat was not just a defeat - it was the total annihilation of a superpower’s confidence.
