Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan was a nation in Central Asia that ceased to exist after its conquest and annexation by the United Islamic Republic during the Central Asian Wars in September 2017. 
==History==
===Annexation by the UIR: 2017-2018===
Former Uzbekistan became a series of UIR provinces which altered and renamed certain existing administrative divisions. 
===Persification: 2019-2040===
Bukhara Province which was predominantly Tajik or Persian speaking, integrated rapidly into the UIR after the Tehran declared Tajik's Persian speakers in 2019, becoming a part of Iran proper for all practical purposes. 
Most Tajiks identified as Shia Muslim during this period contributing to the Persification of Central Asia.
Uzbeks had a similar status to Azeris and other Turkomen with whom they shared a common Turkic language. Although many Uzbeks defiantly identified as Sunni Muslim despite the UIR's encouragement of Shia Islam, both Sunni and Shia Uzbeks generally assimilated with the greater Iranian culture of the UIR. The entire UIR had a Turkic north stretching from the Caucasus Mountains to the Chinese border which Tehran identified as an integral part of Iranian civilization. The staunchest Sunni Muslims joined ISCA, a terrorist organization which periodically attacked UIR troops in Central Asia and sought to restore Sunni rule to the region. Some ISCA members also carried out attacks in Xingjing, a predominantly Sunni Muslim region of neighboring China.
