Abstract: This article explores the socio-economic and political situation in the
Turkestan region during the years of the First World War (1914–1918). Drawing on
historical documents, archival records, and secondary sources, the study investigates
how the global conflict impacted the daily life, economy, and governance of the region
under Russian colonial rule. Special attention is paid to the 1916 uprising, forced
conscription, and growing social tensions that eventually contributed to anti-colonial
sentiments.
