From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russian conquest of Central Asia were a series of conquests that were carried out by the Russian Tsardom and later the Empire from 1714 to 1895, which mainly occured in the area that's what called Turkestan against the predominantly Turkic tribes and many rebel figures who resisted the Russian invasion. Due to the century-long conquest, Russia streched the territory from the Kazakh Steppe to Iran and Afghanistan, with two imperial protectorates of Khiva and Bukhara.
