Question

Is afghanistan part of the middle east or asia?

Answer 1

As the near east, the middle east and the far east are all Asia, it is Asia anyhow.

It is more likely middle east than far east, but as the far east is much bigger, I am not completely sure.

The European map makers who did invent the divisions did not pay much attention to the size of the areas when they described them.

Answer 2

Asia.  Most of it has very little in common with the middle east other than religion.   However once in a while it is classified as in the middle east as the parts that are near the border of Iran are similiar

Answer 3

It is usually considered to be a part of Asia, because it is actually closer to those countries than it is to the Middle East.  This designation is usually just because it has been classified by map makers!
