By the 4th century B.C, after the campaigns of Alexander the Great, trade along the Silk Road made the area emerge as an important trading center; cultural contact intensified and a variety of religions flourish. Many other invaders were here after but no one left much destruction as much as the Mongols led by Genghis Khan in the 13th century AD Vast migrations of nomadic Turks from the northern steppe areas increased drastically.
However in the late 14th century the tribal prince Amir Temur known as Tamerlane united the nations of Central Asia to fight against the Mongols and in victory founded land with its capital in Samarkand.
For more than 2 centuries, the Temurids were ruling turning this place into the center of Central Asia introducing the " Uzbek" term in the 15th and 16th centuries A.d. during the period of Muhammad Shaybani Khan . Bukhara, Kokand and Khiva Khanates were established under independent states but again the independent does't last long when the neighboring Russia could not ignore the geopolitically important region, as it was great economic opportunity for Russia.
Tashkent is the administrative center of Turkestan . In 1924, this territory was joined to Soviet Union. Since then, for more than 70 years Uzbekistan was under the Soviet regime before declaring independence of the country on 31st August 1991, which was officially named the Republic of Uzbekistan . 1st September was proclaimed Independence Day.
