Uzbekistan became a country after a complex historical process that began with Russian control in the 19th century. It officially became the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in 1924 and gained independence in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union. This path was marked by the development of a national identity and ethnic awareness among the Uzbeks.
