Features: This book provides an in-depth and systematic elaboration on the historical development process of the five Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The book is organized chronologically into four parts: Ancient (before the 15th century), Modern (15th to early 20th century), Soviet Period, and the Post-Independence Era of the Five Central Asian Countries. It offers comprehensive discussions and detailed analyses of each country, as well as a comprehensive study of the historical formation and development of ethnic groups such as the Kazakh and Uzbek. The book also exposes and critiques Russia's conquest of Central Asia since the 19th century, with a particular focus on providing a more thorough examination of the historical processes of the Central Asian countries during the Soviet period, which has been less studied domestically. The book fully utilizes historical materials in Chinese and Russian, as well as relevant research findings in Russian and English. With a spirit of scientific rigor and objectivity, it presents the perspectives of Chinese scholars on many issues in the history of the five Central Asian countries. This book was written in accordance with the instructions of Comrade Hu Sheng, and it is the first academic work in China to systematically study the five Central Asian countries, filling the research gap in this field.
