=== Origins ===
The idea for a united republic of Turkic peoples in Central Asia rose to prominence in the late 1910s. The popularity of the idea was fueled by the Ottoman Empire, whose government promoted Orkhonism, an ideology pushing for Turkic Unity. Throughout the late 1910s to 1920s, the Ottoman Empire supplied the Central Asian Orkhonist rebels with weapons and supplies to rebel against the Russian Empire. Eventually, the Orkhonist leaders of Central Asia declared the independent Republic of Turkestan in 1924.
