ABSTRACT

The article presents information on the history of Kazakhstan. From 7000-5000 B.C., the territory of modern-day Kazakhstan was continuously invaded. During the 3rd-4th century, trade began along the Silk Road, major portions of which pass through Central Asia. From 6th-7th century in southern Central Asia, there were various tribes form the large Turkic Kaganate. During the late 18th to Early 19th century, intense Russian expansion into the Kazakh steppe gained momentum and eventually, Russia gained control of all of Central Asia.
