The Constitutional Revolution of Gandhara (Arabic: ثورة الدستورية لل غانذارا) was a wave of mass political and social unrest that spread through vast areas of Gandhara during the spring of 1918. Inspired by the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the abdication of Nicholas II, the unrest was directed against the autocratic rule of Emir Rahimullah al-Mansur.
