The formation and development of Uzbek statehood are deeply rooted in the rich history of Central Asia, where various empires, khanates, and states have risen and fallen. This article explores the historical evolution of Uzbek statehood, tracing its origins from ancient times through the influence of prominent empires, the establishment of the Uzbek Khanates, and the modern era of independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. By examining the political, social, and cultural factors that have shaped Uzbek statehood, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the stages of its development.
