Central Asia: A Region on the Rise
In recent years, Central Asia has emerged as a region of growing importance. With its vast natural resources, strategic location, and rapidly developing economies, the region is poised to play a major role in the global arena. This book, "The Return of Tamerlane: Contemporary Central Asia," provides a comprehensive overview of the region, examining its history, culture, politics, and economy.
A Rich History
Central Asia has a long and rich history. The region was once home to some of the world's most powerful empires, including the Persian Empire, the Greek Empire, and the Mongol Empire. In the 14th century, the region was conquered by Timur, also known as Tamerlane, who established a vast empire that stretched from the Caspian Sea to India. Tamerlane was a ruthless conqueror, but he was also a patron of the arts and sciences. His empire was a melting pot of cultures, and it produced some of the greatest works of art and architecture in the Islamic world.
A Diverse Culture
Central Asia is home to a diverse array of cultures. The region is inhabited by a number of different ethnic groups, each with its own unique language, religion, and customs. The largest ethnic group in Central Asia is the Uzbeks, who make up about 28% of the region's population. Other major ethnic groups include the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, and Turkmens.
