sovereign Kyrgyzstan - a small country in Central Asia.Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country, 90% of whose territory is situated on the mountain ranges of the Tien Shan and Pamir-Alai.It borders territorial country with Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and China.Despite the great potential for growing agricultural products and the development of cattle breeding, a former Soviet republic is economically poor.This situation helps to understand the history of Kyrgyzstan, originating in the V millennium BC.
The V - III millennium BC.in Kyrgyzstan lived tribes of hunters, farmers and nomads, isolated from each other.Traces of habitation have been found by archaeologists in the area adjacent to Lake Issyk-Kul, in the Fergana Valley, in the suburbs of Bishkek and Naryn, and in the valley of the river Sary-Jaz.Starting with the II millennium BC.begin to appear the first association, vaguely reminiscent of the state.
For two millennia, despite the complexity of crossing mountain ranges, the migration of different tribes, so that the country's population expands.The V II in.BCthe area was conquered by the Western Turkic khanate, and then began to belong to the Karluk Kaganate.However, in the 9-10 centuries.the situation is changing - on the stage of history goes Kyrgyz Khanate.Kaganat occupied a vast area covering part of Turkestan, the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, a part of Western Siberia.Agricultural tribes begin to trade, not only with the nomads, but also with the caravans, going along the Great Silk Road.This situation lasted until Genghis Khan in 1218, China has not won, and then walked with his horde of Central Asia.Hike Genghis Khan saw the destruction and the destruction of all the cities, encountered him on the road.
From the 13th to the 19th century history of Kyrgyzstan has many sections of its territory between the conquerors.In the 19th century, Kyrgyzstan was annexed by the Russian Empire.Almost immediately there was a rebellion unhappy that joining Kyrgyz headed Puluthanom.However, the uprising was brutally suppressed.Since 1850, migrants from different areas of the European part of Russia are behind the army and seized the most fertile land.After the uprising, the population has decreased, but the most likely reduced the number of livestock, the main source of the life of the Kirghiz, especially nomadic tribes.
After the revolution of 1917, although there were opponents of Soviet power, the history of Kyrgyzstan received a new round of development.There were attempts to revolt, however, Kyrgyzstan was introduced in the Turkestan.Basmachi tried to put up armed resistance, but by 1920 it was finally broken.Many innovations and the intervention of Soviet power in the traditional way of life has changed the life of Kyrgyzstan - was introduced equality between women and men is prohibited polygamy, bride price is prohibited, and much more.
Soviet government has never belonged to the conquered territories favorably.And though it was thanks to the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan receives the status of a full Soviet republic begins active growth of the industry, it is the position of a poor relative.In Kyrgyzstan, begins production of coal, the production of open antimony and mercury, and in 1929 begins the creation of collective farms.Although by 1941 it was created about 300,000 livestock collective farms, this was achieved at the cost of arrests and executions of all unwilling to enter into collective farms and to give their livestock in general use.
history of Kyrgyzstan during the Soviet era was marked by Stalin's repressions.Especially many of them were in the 30s.It was marked by arrests, exiles and executions of elders, priests, and just all the discontented new way of life.
In the 80s began to establish relations with the Kyrgyz living outside the republic.
After the coup in Moscow Kyrgyz Republic declared its independence and became known as sovereign Kyrgyzstan.After independence, the Republic has faced enormous economic difficulties.This caused an outflow of population in the more prosperous regions.The country has launched a national strife, ably fueled by nationalists and reaching the clashes.It only spurred the departure of more or less skilled workers from the country.By the new economic conditions Kyrgyzstan is not able to adapt so far, and the old farming traditions and way of life have been destroyed.
The story does not end with Kyrgyzstan.Despite national strife within the country and economic poverty, it begin to take an interest in highly developed countries.Will it rise to former heights of economic prosperity, it will be clear only in the future.
