History[edit]
Throughout history, Karabulak was part of states that reigned the area that more or less corresponds to present-day Uzbekistan. From 1809 until 1876, Karabulak was part of the Uzbek Khanate of Kokand. In mid-19th century, the Russian Empire began occupying the area of present-day Central Asia. By the late 19th century, imperial Russia had conquered all of the three states that dominated the territory roughly corresponding to present-day Uzbekistan.[4] The Khanate of Khiva was conquered in 1873 and the Emirate of Bukhara fell in 1868. The Kokand Khanate formally became part of the Russian Empire in 1876.
Even though Karabulak was historically an Uzbek settlement, it became part of present-day Kazakhstan. When Russians split the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic into autonomous oblasts, Karabulak became part of the Kirghiz ASSR which was later reorganized into the Kazakh SSR. After the dissolution of the USSR, the Kazakh SSR became Kazakhstan. Thus, despite being a majority-Uzbek settlement, Karabulak became part of Kazakhstan.
Some sources hold that the Soviets drew borders inconsistent with the traditional locations of ethnic populations so that people with historical claims to land would be dependent on the central power, that is Moscow, making them easier to control.[5] According to these sources, the creation of individual republics was meant to reduce the threat of pan-Turkic or pan-Islamic movements in Central Asia.[6] This strategy has been referred to as Joseph Stalin's "divide and rule" policy.[5][6] Currently there are many traditionally Uzbek settlements in Kazakhstan. Many people in Central Asia believe that they should more appropriately be part of another country.[5] However, some scholars claim that since during the Soviet demarcation of Central Asia many places in Central Asia were ethnically mixed, it was impossible to clearly define ethnic and territorial boundaries.[7]
