Uzbekistan,[a] officially the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, is a landlocked constituent republic of the Soviet Union in Central Asia. It is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Kirghizia to the northeast, Afghanistan to the south, Tadzhikistan to the southeast, and Turkmenia to the southwest. The largest city and capital, Tashkent, is additionally one of the largest cities in the Soviet Union. Other major cities include Andizhan, Samarkand, Namangan and Nukus, the latter of which serves as the capital of the autonomous Karakalpakstan.

The first recorded inhabitants in modern day Uzbekistan were the Iranic Scythians, who established kingdoms throughout Central Asia from the 8th century BCE to the 6th century AD. These kingdoms later mostly fell under the control of various Persian empires before being conquered by the Muslim caliphate in the 7th century. Under the control and influence of the caliphate, Uzbekistan and the rest of Central Asia converted to Islam. During the 10th to 12th centuries, the Turkic migrations resulted in the Turkicization and dominance of Turkic tribes over the previously Iranic population. From the territory of modern-day Uzbekistan, Tamerlane and the Timurid empire would expand across Persia and Central Asia, in addition to the future Mughal Empire. Uzbekistan, like the rest of Central Asia, was gradually assimilated and integrated into the Russian Empire during the 19th century. Modern-day Uzbekistan was established in 1924, with national delimitation in the Soviet Union.

Uzbekistan is home to a large Russian minority in addition to its other Turkic minorities, such as the Karakalpaks and Tadzhiks.
