I prefer Koyanisqaatsi's approach to naming. "Afghanistan history" looks odd to me because it should be "Afghan history"; when we get to the F's, I'll want "French geography," not "France geography." This doesn't apply for every possibility: "United States government" is correct, for example.
The other, broader question to consider is whether we want a stack of small pages for history, geography, etc. of each country: "history" probably, geography might well go better as a paragraph or two in the article on "Afghanistan." At least if we're still working with CIA World Factbook data--a good, long, detailed article could be written (by someone more up on the area than I) about the geography of Afghanistan, and how that has affected its history, politics, and culture.
