In the fourteenth century AD, Timur, known in the west as Tamerlane, overpowered the Mongols and built an empire. In his military campaigns, Tamerlane reached as far as the Middle East. He defeated Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, who was captured, and died in captivity. Tamerlane sought to build a capital for his empire in Samarkand. Today Tamerlane is considered to be one of the greatest heroes in Uzbekistan. He plays a significant role in its national id and history. Following the fall of the Timurid Empire, Uzbek nomads conquered the region.

In the nineteenth century, the Russian Empire began to expand, and spread into Central Asia. The "Great Game" period is generally regarded as running from approximately 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907. Following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 a second less intensive phase followed. At the start of the 19th century, there were some 2,000 miles (3,200 km) separating British India and the outlying regions of the Tsarist Russia. Much of the land in between was unmapped.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, Central Asia was firmly in the hands of Russia and despite some early resistance to Bolsheviks, Uzbekistan and the rest of Central Asia became a part of the Soviet Union. On August 31, 1991, Uzbekistan declared independence, marking September 1 as a national holiday.

  • Samarqand belongs to the tajiks.

  • I can't believe this is the place of imam dhuli, imam Muslim and imam bhukari

  • @uzbekonline , I do speak English very well, I can do my best to refute your claims, however I will not. Answer me in a Turkic language. So I can understand whether I speak to a Turkic person who speaks in the name of his/her Turkic nation or a non Turk who feeds pure anti Turkism deep inside his/her heart. Speak Turkic!

  • @Nadhikku2 You will never see cultural integration of central asian countries with turkey. if kazakhs fuck uzbeks, uzbeks fuck tajiks, and kyrgyz fuck uzbeks. turkmens doesnt give a shit about turkic integration. money and politics will do the job, but not your pro-Turkish nonsense. fuck yourself, moron.

  • @Nadhikku2 Ты как и Мухаммад Солих в Турции турецкие хуи сосешь?

  • @Nadhikku2 Qanaqa turkii til, pidaraz? Turkiyliklar kim ekan? Qanaqa Turkiy bayroq? birovni miyasini sikishdan oldin, o'zingni sikilgan miyangni tekshirib qo'y.

  • @uzbekonline

    Nima bo'ldi, Turkiylikdan so'zlaganda O'ruscha sevging mi jonlandi? Men senga Turkiy tilda javob yozganman. Sening ham menga Turkiy tilda javob yozishing zarur. O'ruschani bilmayman va senga javob bermayman. O'zbeklar Turkiyliklariga o'tgan kun soyin yana-da ortiqroq qiymat bermoqda, kun keladi va takror O'zbeklar Turkiylik bayrogining eng olddagi tashiguchisi boladi...U kun uchun tayyor bo'l...

  • @Nadhikku2 pidaraz, ty komu pishesh svoe gavno?

  • @uzbekonline

    Shu aytgan so'zingiz qanday mumkin? Turkning tili bor lekin o'zi yo'qmi? Bu aytgan so'zingizga faqat kulish mumkin, Turkni inkor qilish uchun qiladigan, aytadigan boshqa narsangiz bo'lsa men sizning miyangizni sikish uchun shu yerda bo'laman. Turkligin inkor qilgan bir O'zbek! Qiziqarli, Uyotli,

    Aslin inkor qilar kishi haromzoda kishi.

  • @uzbekonline

    Amir Temurdan yaxshiroq bilganingni aytma! U o'zi Biz kim Mulki Turon, Amiri Turkistonmiz, Biz kim millatlarning eng qadimi va eng ulug'i Turkning bosh bo'ginimiz. Agar bizning qudratimizga shubha qilsang, biz qurgan imoratlarga boq degan kishi.
