Shir Ali initially seized power when his father died, but was quickly ousted by his older brother, Mohammed Afzal Khan. Internecine warfare followed until Shir Ali defeated his brother and regained the title of Emir. His rule was hindered by pressure from both Britain and Russia though Shir Ali attempted to keep Afghanistan neutral in their conflict.
