Conquered by Muslim Arabs between the 7th and 8th century AD. Persian Samanid dynasty established an empire in the 9th century. Samanids encouraged Persian culture in the area. Afterwards was overthrown by Karakhanids. Its territory was overrun by [[Genghis Khan]] and his Mongol tribes in 1220.

 

In the 1300s, [[Timur]] (1336 - 1405), known in the west as Tamerlane, overpowered the Mongols and built an empire. In his military campaigns Tamerlane reached as far as the Middle East. He defeated Ottoman Emperor Bayazid and rescued Europe from Turkish conquest. Tamerlane sought to build a capital of his empire in Samarkand (largely a Tajik-populated city). The imagery of Tamerlane would be used later in history to construct an Uzbekistani national identity.
