History

Today, many tourists understand that it is easier to travel and study the history of the country with a car for rent. On the tour, of course, you will learn from the guide as well as from local residents that the history of Kyrgyzstan is very rich. Nevertheless, we tried to note the most important moments from history in this article.

On a car for rent tour of Kyrgyzstan, you will visit a number of gorges with ancient inscriptions on the walls. These inscriptions will tell you about the ancient nomads who were inclined to move from one pasture to another. It is quite common that when moving, these nomads take all their things with them: yurts, cattle, household utensils, etc. While traveling with Kyrgyzstan car for rent service, you will learn that the history is 2000 years old, and in written notes, the history begins in 201 BC. Also, having gone to the Issyk Kul region, namely to the city of Cholpon Ata, you can see ancient art, in other words, the Gallery of rock art. Such an interesting place will tell you about the Bronze Age, where you will see images depicted on the walls - petroglyphs, goats, bulls, horses and all animals, scenes of everyday life, such as dancing, socializing or rituals.

During the tour with rent car service, you will be told in more detail that the history of the Kyrgyz begins from 201 BC according to Chinese writings. Thus, the ancient history stretches from 1000 BC before 300 AD. You will learn that this is not the only information about the Kyrgyz, because there is also a mention of the Kyrgyz in the chronicle "Historical Notes", which tells about five people who tried to conquer the Hunnu. Other information is given in the chronicle of Han Shu by the historian Bang Gu. Today there is such an interesting opinion among modern scientists that the territory of the state of the ancient Kyrgyz was in East Turkestan.

The people of Kyrgyzstan note that the period from 1200 to 1400 was tragic due to a series of Mongol invasions. As a result of such invasions, the Mongols managed to extinguish a fairly developed Turkic culture. With our car for rent in Kyrgyzstan, our guests will learn that in 1207 the Yenisei Kyrgyz were under the rule of Chenghiz Khan. The 12-15th century in the history of Kyrgyzstan is marked by the spread of the religion of Islam among the nomads. The spread of Islam is the result of close relationships with Persian, Arab and Turkic traders.

On the tour, you will also learn that in the 15th century, people from Southern Siberia moved to the territory of the Kyrgyz. This is the main explanation for the lack of state among local residents from the 15th to the 19th century. It is known that there were tribes with leaders. The leaders of these tribes tried to reunite into one state, but failed this idea. The result was the emergence of tribes with a political structure and views on the beginning of independence.

Take advantage of our car for rent tour and learn that from the 18th century to the early 20th century, the Kyrgyz expressed their desire to become part of the Russian Empire. The impetus for this decision on the part of the Kyrgyz, namely the northern Kyrgyz, were threats, both external and internal. However, from the southern part of Kyrgyzstan, there were no such desires for annexation, but ultimately they were unified by force. Such an annexation led to noticeable changes in the form of a change from a nomadic way of life to an agricultural and civil one.

Traveling to Kyrgyzstan, you will learn that at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1917, the Bolsheviks came to conquer the state of the Russian Empire. With their arrival, they declared that they did not exploit people, that they would be equal to each other. Thus, the period of the Soviet Union began. They begin to pay attention to the political, cultural and educational life of the country. In the time of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan became an autonomous region. The era of the Soviet Union was tragic for people who believed in God, as all religions were prohibited.

The next significant events in the history of Kyrgyzstan take place in 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now Kyrgyzstan is acquiring the status of an independent country. The people of the country had a desire to finally become independent, and as a result, there was a decline in living standards, unemployment and a crisis in political, economic and social life. The acquisition of independence influenced the appearance of the country's flag and anthem. 1992 is marked by the fact that Kyrgyzstan became a member of the UN, in 1993 adopted its Constitution. Other significant dates are 2005 and 2010, when two revolutions took place due to popular discontent with the presidency.
