History

Many travelers now use the car for rent service and take a tour of Kyrgyzstan to learn the history of the country. Nevertheless, we would like to briefly tell you the most important events in the history of Kyrgyzstan before your travel. However, traveling and getting information from a guide is much better, because you can also learn more information from local residents, nomads!

On a tour to learn about the existence of ancient nomads, travelers visit gorges, on the walls of which there are strange inscriptions. They tell about the life of nomads. People with this way of life moved from one pasture to another, while taking all their wealth with them. What is most interesting is that they took their dwelling-yurt with them when moving! The amazing history of Kyrgyzstan is 2000 years old, and in written records, the history begins in 201 BC.

By renting a car, you will drive through the mountains where you will see the development of art and culture since antiquity. You will find such an example in the Issyk Kul region, in Cholpon Ata this is the Rock Art Gallery. On a tour of the site, you will learn about the Bronze Age. It is worth paying attention to its walls, where goats, bulls, and many other animals, various scenes like hunting and dancing are depicted.

In general, the first mention of the Kyrgyz refers to the Chinese writings of 201 BC. The period of all ancient history is 1000 BC before 300 AD .The chronicle "Historical Notes" also tells about the Kyrgyz people. The chronicle tells about five people who tried to conquer the Hunnu. Other information can be found in the Han Shu chronicle of the historian Ban Gu. Scientists and historians of our times believe that the territory of the state of the ancient Kyrgyz was located in East Turkestan.

The next thing you will be told in detail during the tour with cars for rent is that from 1200 to 1400 the Kyrgyz people experienced a critical moment, due to a series of Mongol invasions. With their arrival at that time, the almost developed Turkic culture disintegrated. Traveling further, you will learn that in 1207 the Yenisei Kyrgyz were under the rule of Genghis Khan. In addition, an interesting fact in history that should be noted is the spread of the religion of Islam among the nomads, since there were trade with the Persians, Arabs, and Turks.

In the 15th century, such a historical event took place as the resettlement of people from southern Siberia to the territory of the Kyrgyz, which is the main reason for the lack of a state among local residents from the 15th to the 19th century. Of course, there were attempts by tribal leaders to unite into a single state with one main ruler. However, the attempts were unsuccessful; as a result, tribes appeared with a political structure and views on the beginning of independence.

During travel, it is pleasant to learn also the history of the country. For example, you will learn on the tour that from the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the Kyrgyz had a great desire to become part of the Russian Empire. However, to say that all Kyrgyz had such a desire would be wrong. Yes, the northern Kyrgyz wanted to join because they were afraid of internal and external threats. Nevertheless, the south had to be annexed with force. Of course, such changes led to a change from the nomadic way of life to agricultural and civil.

The next stage of history at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1917, is the coming of the Bolsheviks to power and the conquest of the Russian Empire. At this time, the exploitation of people is abolished, and this is the beginning of the equal status of people. During the Soviet Union, significant progress was made in the political and cultural life of the country, as well as education. Kyrgyzstan became an autonomous region. Despite such positive changes, there was also a disadvantage in the era of the Soviet Union such as the ban on religion. Any belief and belief in God at all was not allowed. You will learn about all the details on the tour with car for rent.

The next thing we would like to talk about is the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of Independent Kyrgyzstan. In the beginning, of course, people had a desire to become independent, but things did not go so easily. Because there was a decline in living standards, unemployment and a crisis of political, economic and social life. Nevertheless, nowadays, the country was able to adapt to new standards with gaining independence, a flag and anthem appeared in the country. In 1992, Kyrgyzstan is part of the UN; in 1993, it adopted its Constitution. Further, which, of course, should not be hushed up, these are two major revolutions of 2005 and 2010, when the people overthrew the presidents.
