UZBEKISTAN History

There is no information about the first periods of the history of the Uzbek people. This name was first given to Uzbeks by Gıyaseddin Muhammed Özbek, the ruler of Altınordu, who ruled between 1313 and 1340. The Uzbeks, who lived scattered in the region north of the Aral Lake and Seyhun River in the lands of the Timur Empire, which weakened after the death of Timur Khan, gathered under the rule of Ebü'l-Hayr and declared it a khan for themselves in 1428. In a short time, they got stronger and took the other tribes in the region under their domination. They captured cities such as Sığnak, Arkuk, Suzak, Özkent on the coast of Ceyhun-Irmağı and made Sığnak the capital city of them. When the Kalmyks were defeated in the expeditions to Turkistan sides, the Başbuğs named Kanay and Canibek, who took advantage of this situation, took shelter in Çağatay Inn by taking some Uzbeks with them. These Uzbeks who left the region were called Kazakh or Kyrgyz sweaters.

After the death of Ebü'l-Hayr, the Uzbeks were defeated and dispersed by the Çağatay-Mongolian ruler Yunus Hana. Ebü'l-Hayr's son Şah Budak was killed by Yunus Han. The Uzbeks dispersed gathered around Shah Budak's son Muhammed Şeybek (Şeybani). Since this date, the Uzbeks, also known as Şeybaniler, took advantage of the internal turmoil in the Timurids State in 1500 and captured Bukhara and put an end to the Timur dynasty. The Uzbeks, who captured Harezm and Hive, defeated the Chagatay ruler Babür. Having conquered Balkh, Herat and Tashkent, the Uzbeks became the strongest state in Central Asia.

The Uzbeks were defeated by the Safavids for a while, and although some regions were lost, they took them back in 1512. Uzbek domination continued in Transoxiana throughout the 16th century. Six months after the death of the Second Abdullah Khan in 1598, when his son Abdulmü was killed by his supporters, the rule of the Uzbeks country passed to the Canoğulları (Astırhan Khans), who were relatives of the Şeybani.

The Uzbeks constantly fought with the Shia-Safavids in Iran throughout the sixteenth century. They tried to establish good relations with the Ottoman people who were Sunnah and the Mughal people in India. Until the middle of the 17th and 18th century, they remained under the rule of the Astırhanlar Khanate. The Astırhanlar Khanate was destroyed by Nadir Shah in 1740.

After the death of Nadir Shah, the sovereignty passed to Manghithanlar dynasty instead of Canoğulları. This dynasty continued to dominate until 1860. The Uzbeks, who remained under the domination of the Bukhara Khanate, which continued semi-independently under the auspices of the Russians who advanced into Turkistan since 1860, lived under various pressures from the Russians.

Most of the lands where Uzbekistan is located today was under the administration of Khiva, Bukhara and Hokand khanates in the 19th century. After the 1917 Soviet Revolution, an interim government was established in the region, in which Uzbeks and other Muslims had little say. The government established by the Muslims who gathered a national congress in Hokand in December 1917 under the leadership of Mustafa Çokayev was overthrown by the Russian soldiers sent in 1918. After the coup, a resistance movement known as the Basmaci uprising began against the new administration. The establishment of the Harezm and Bukhara Soviet People's Republics caused the Basmacı Revolt to spread. As a result of the reforms initiated by the Turkestan Commission in 1922, the uprising lost its effect.

In 1924, with the arrangement that redefined the borders in Central Asia and Kazakhstan on ethnic grounds, the Khwarezm, Bukhara and Turkistan republics were distributed and the territory of the region was divided among Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.

Uzbekistan declared its independence in August 1991 as a result of the renewal movements that started in the Soviet Union in 1989. It was later attached to the established Commonwealth of Independent States.
