when did uzbekistan gain independence from the soviet union?
31 august 1991
what is now uzbekistan was in ancient times part of the iranian-speaking region of transoxiana and turan. the first recorded settlers were eastern iranian nomads, known as scythians, who founded kingdoms in khwarezm (8th–6th centuries bc), bactria (8th–6th centuries bc), sogdia (8th–6th centuries bc), fergana (3rd century bc – 6th century ad), and margiana (3rd century bc – 6th century ad). the area was incorporated into the iranian achaemenid empire and, after a period of macedonian greek rule, was ruled by the iranian parthian empire and later by the sasanian empire, until the arab conquest of iran in the 7th century. the muslim conquest in the 7th century converted the majority of the population, including the local ruling classes, into adherents of islam. during this period, cities such as samarkand, khiva and bukhara began to grow rich from the silk road. the local khwarezmian dynasty, and central asia as a whole, were decimated by the mongol invasion in the 13th century. after the mongol conquests, the area became increasingly dominated by turkic peoples. the city of shahrisabz was the birthplace of the turco-mongol warlord timur, who in the 14th century established the timurid empire and was proclaimed the supreme emir of turan with his capital in samarkand. the area was conquered by uzbek shaybanids in the 16th century, moving the centre of power from samarkand to bukhara. the region was split into three states: khanate of khiva, khanate of kokand, and emirate of bukhara. it was gradually incorporated into the russian empire during the 19th century, with tashkent becoming the political center of russian turkestan. in 1924, after national delimitation, the constituent republic of the soviet union known as the uzbek soviet socialist republic was created. following the breakup of the soviet union, it declared independence as the republic of uzbekistan on 31 august 1991.
