It's astounding to me how little the international media covers central Asia. I always thought that it was because they where super peaceful.
@precizion Maybe. Although in general very little news Comes from nations east of the caspian and west of china.
Super peaceful lmao
The less economically and militarily powerful a country, the less they are important/interesting for the "big media".
@precizion oh you are from India?
Maybe because China, Russia and Afghanistan are consuming all the attention over there.
Yesterday: Blood for oil.
Today: Blood for semiconductor minerals.

@@ShakilAhmed-kf5nd nah its not that soon, it'll happen but it'll take a while to reach us, and we'll be dead...so not our problem.
You can see blood is the most valuable coin to use.
*+Mrgurderian* Why not for bot--all three and more reasons? After, in addition, last weeks wars were for prestige, holdings, land, religion, etc.
Exactly!
As a kid, after draining the bathtub. I would often play games in it where soldiers were fighting each other for control of the leftover drops of water that didn't go down the drain. Little did I know then, I was reenacting real world conflicts.
Baby globalist.
Babies and their first phrases:
Timmy: "mama look dog"
Jessica: "Timmy hello"
Kevin: "dad, this"
Jeremy: _"it appears to me that the 12th division is losing grasp of the left drop. Shall it attempt to split and flank the incoming invaders or prepare for prolonged siege?"_
@@royxeph_arcanex Lmao, i love this comment
As kids, after hopping out of the bath my siblings and I would sit on the floor in a line, feet on the wall, count to three, push off the wall and slide on our bums in a race to get to the other side of the bathroom. Little did we know then, we were reenacting the behaviors of real world federal parliaments (like the Australian government).
Pre-enacting.
As a person that lives in Uzbekistan. People don't care at all about water here even though they just dried the Aral see for cotton. I have no idea about what they think lol
The Aral sea is just a wastful evaporator its rapid decline shows how much river water is wasted to supply the worthless sea...its a freak of nature and should not be saved.
@@command_unit7792 that was too harsh dude, there was a whole ecosystem that was naturally formed by ages. But yeah, soviets did their job and former president had finished it
Command_Unit Wasteful? There are multiple major problems that result from the shrinking of the lake. Starting locally, the entire economic base of the population around the lake just disappeared. As If that wasn't bad enough already, the climate also changed from mild, maritime touched climate with fresh breezes to continental desert climate combined with Sand or rather Salt storms. But probably the biggest, even international issue: These Salt storms destroy farmlands hundrets of kilometers away from the lake, Even reaching the Himalaya and melting the glaciers and Snow there! On top of that comes that the "useful" purposes that the Water is used For become more and more impossible as well, as cotton Farmers neglected drainage leading to salt accumulating on the land once again, reducing cotton harvest by about 50%. Every "freak of nature" has its purpose, and by cutting of the Aral everyone just lost in the end.
Russia dried the aral sea
@@victorchanalet9592 this is a meme about the IRL person who created the theory that destroyed the Aral sea.
The world: right now, we have to contain the conflict in Afghanistan to avoid the spreading of instability to Central Asia.
Central Asia: fine, we’ll do it ourselves.
There is a degree of how willfully ignorant one can be about the compounding nature of the calamity the climate change brings to poorer nations. This didn't start now. Some even credit Arab spring on climate change & it causes on urbanization and unemployment.
Instability is always caused by external factors. The West will fall.
Imagine believing nations of the world care about other nations rather than their resources.Also Santa isn't real just for info.
@@1themaster1 The Afghan war has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and achieved next to nothing for it. The Taliban may be oppressive, but the country's death toll was never that high before the war.

France and the UK : oh my, i think we were a bit careless with these african borders.
Russia : carel... wait, what ? That wasn't the point ?
BS, the english and french knew exactly what they did, they did it on purpose.
@@Argentvs I think you're missing the satire. It's a meme format
yes, that was meant as satire, but whatever belief makes him happier about himself i guess.
like it or not, the African frontiers are nonsense because of carelessness, all black people being just seen as "African" as if it was an identity in itself. I mean, had we known, would we have made sensible frontiers ? maybe, maybe not. I can't tell.
if frontiers had been traced to fuck them up, they would be far more convoluted, deliberately splitting as many people groups as possible leading to torturous jagged lines, like we see here, not 500km long straight lines like the frontiers of mali
Most of their borders where made on deserts. The middle east was an actual French-Anglo fuck up.
@@someguysomeone3543 the middle East was divided based on mineral deposits.

I live in the heart of Ferghana valley. We mostly depend on agriculture to survive. Unfortunately, in recent years we've been facing the problem of water shortage. That's led to low yields in crops. We're just struggling to make ends meet.

The drying of Aral sea screwed this over even more.
There were whole civilizations, cities, and cultures based around the Aral sea. Now that is all gone...
As much as the Soviets could cover up their disasters, they couldn't quite find the excuse to cover up a rapidly disappearing sea.
Da....
Yeah, it's bad. But understand the context. The diverted inflow of water was used to irrigate over 5 million hectares of cropland. People in the area needed (and still need) food more than fish. Another thing to remember is that it wasn't the Soviets who did this.
I'm Australian and we have seen a number of documentaries on the destruction for the Aral Sea.
I find it truly staggering in this entire video DOES NOT MENTION the destruction of the Aral Sea.
Those Soviet era dams built on those 2 huge rivers (Syr Darya and Amu Darya) destroyed the Aral Sea. That destruction is one of the greatest *MANMADE* disasters in history. Prior to its destruction the Aral Sea supported an enormous fishery that fed millions. That is all gone -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea
The other thing he does not mention is that those enclaves were deliberately created by Stalin. He did it to create the sorts of situations we now see all across the ex-Soviet Republics. He literally grabbed chunks of populations and swapped them to create these enclaves. These enclaves didn't "naturally" develop over centuries they are a fairly recent (in terms of history) Soviet construct designed to displace people from their traditional homelands.
Soviet Russia: "Our Water"

When I hear the elder people from Ex-Soviet states* talking about the past times, they often say that the Russians weren´t really beloved, but in the Soviet Union the basic things like a roof over the head and *water* were guaranteed - which is not the case nowadays. What the SovUni could do in the "snip of a finger" is now often impossible due to borders, politics, ethnical disparities.

Drawing boarders is not that easy. Ask the near(middle) east how they feel about the British boarders^^.
@@anarchisticauthoritarian228 Strictly 'Anglo-French' borders. However if one looks at most international borders they are rather artificial, drawn by politicians according to who had just won a war, had the most powerful friends or thought it would be a great idea to create a state of heterogeneous people in order to prevent another state from achieving dominance. The whole notion of the 'nation-state' should have been put out to pasture in 1945 after the devastation of two world wars. Unfortunately tribalism is still a dominant human trait and we love to puff out our chests in pride over things we never did and/or happened well before we were born. 😥
@@ericjames8233 Yeah, it (tribalism) is what I metaphorically call "the small-d*** complex". And you're right; one shouldn't really mention Britain in such a context with also mentioning France, as they were certainly the biggest players in that arena. As they say, "Not judging - just reporting historical fact." You'll perhaps agree that we could all do with a bit less finger pointing and do a bit more more acknowledging our own shortcomings, both as individuals and as groups. As Woodrow Wilson said, "No nation is fit to sit in judgement of another." That might not be always the case, but I think it's a good general approach, and one which our dumbed-down, polarised world could use benefit from implementing a bit more, certainly.
Ah Ferghana valley, the jewels of central asia, from the days of Alexander, to modern days
From Alexander to Babur
For some reason it sounts like you are calling Ferghana Asia's cahones
It’s amazing how the ancient cities of Ferghana from Alexander’s time have turned into little more than piles of mudbrick dust. Sadder still is that very little of this cultural wealth has been properly excavated.
Bruh, it's obvious that today center of CA is Almaty and Shymkent
Never heard of this valley before. Most informative, as always!
For those who know about Central Asia - it's about as historic and important as the Nile Valley.
Fargana valley was the home of Babur, the founder of Mogul empire in India.
He’s mentioned this before, it’s an interesting part of the world.
Shirvan is Azeri, so he knows post Soviet Union well
It was from this valley Genghis khan was expected to come and attack kwaregimi empire of iran, clearly you have not read history

The Resource Wars are getting much more realistic as the days go by...
@plentyness I’ve been preparing my interceptor for this eventuality.
Are you a girl 😁?
You'll never see a war called a 'xyz resource war', at least not unless we enter the post-apocalyptic period. That kind of honesty doesn't sell well. The powers that be will always concoct some sort of moral or nationalistic reason for the war, so as to rile people up for it. A scramble for resources only riles people up after everything has gone to shit and so morality has been cast aside. Until such time, people will always want to feel morally justified in what they do, and their leaders will be happy to oblige.
@plentyness witness him!!
resources always have been the primary reason for war.
Thats not a new development.
4:46 If you asked me to draw three countries that interlock without cutting off, the most complicated way possible, I would not have come up with this.
Kazakhstan is the last to recieve water from Syrdarya river. Its water level has dropped significantly over the last few years. Just imagine river originates in Kyrgyzstan, then it flows through Uzbek Ferghana , then through Tajik Ferghana , then BACK to Uzbekistan and only after that it reaches Kazakshtan and every single one of the upstream countries takes as much water as they can. I think its really Kazakhstan suffering the most XD ( not mentioning poor Aral sea that relies on Amudarya and Syrdarya for its water source)
Then take what’s yours and invade and show no mercy and let the world know the Krazystan will bring the krazy of u mess with their water. USA! USA! USA!
No one cares. Enjoy your "freedom and democracy".
And now with the task to keep the remaining bits of the Aral Sea alive as well... gosh.
Nobody lives in Kazakhstan, it is big and empty. I doubt if even 100 people live there XD. Even though it is very big land-wise...
@@crazysilly2914 19 million people live here. It's not like scattered all across that giant land area. There are lots of densely populated urban areas.

Appreciate your work.

Shirvan I was expecting a video on American withdrawal from Afghanistan and post withdrawal situation in Afghanistan with Taliban continuing their onslaught. I would appreciate your analysis on post withdrawal Pak-Afghan relations and growing Chinese concerns over Afghan instability and its impact on Uigher Muslim community.
I also want to know
What will be its impact on Pakistani Taliban
Will it get stronger ?
Will afghan taliban support Pakistani Taliban as both have same ideology to create a islami state with sharia rule
Id wager China would rather just work with the Taliban than further inflame the region. The last thing China wants is any Salafist, Wahhabist or any other extremist/jihadist Islamist ideologies spreading and entrenching themselves in XinJiang among the Uyghur population there and/or any Han muslims converts.
Even if the cooporation/trade/buisness is done under the table and behind the scenes. Overt criticism, covert cooporation.
They aren't going to leave Afghanistan
@@user-cc1so5tq2p I really think they'll get stronger, given USA was helping Pakistan to fight them and when Taliban gets complete control over Afghanistan it's just natural they'll help thier brothers in east.

Great work. I loved Uzbekistan. The people I met were so gracious and kind. I'd love to return. Sorry to hear of so much conflict.

Same as in East Germany (Deutche Demokratishe Republik).
Yeah, that's the new Moscow city in the back drop. It's an interesting contrast.
Fergana Valley. That's the homeland of the first mughal emperor Babur. I wonder if these water-related issues were present back then too, and shaped him into who he became.
That's possible explanation.Water drought is also what drove the original indus valley civilization into spreading to the rest of India
You dont believe. but such issues existed even before him, during his grand-grand-father Tamerlane, there are source booked
It was also the northeastern most part of Alexander's empire
It was also birthplace of river cilivization of Khwarazm, out of which most of the islamic philosophers were born
The ancient empire of Bactria (where Bactrian camels come from) was in the Fergana valley...
Absolutely loved that video, I sent this to some family members who work for the US Federal Government, more specifically the Army Corps of Engineers who are dealing with a very similar issue in the states. Fortunately its between states in a federation and not countries with armies and militarized borders lol. But I would love to see your take on the US water crisis, more specifically on how water out in the western states is running out, and the constant battle between state and Federal authorities and farmers. Either way the way resources effect global conflic is super interesting.
It always amazes me how it is the places where we least look and think about where something really important happens. Thank you for filling us in on details
As always, thank you for an insight into these forgotten conflicts.
Videos like this illustrate perfectly how very little I know and much I need to learn about Central Asia. Excellent work as usual!

Oh cool. I was actually looking at going on holiday there. Always interesting to see some other background than the travel information and historic information sources will give.
Great, planning a trip to Kazakhstan?
Always a delight to see a new video from you. Other strategic issues surrounding water is that as climate change advances water will become scarce in places where there has been traditionally useful supplies. We're starting to see this problem escalate in the Middle East and Africa as well as becoming a serious domestic concern in the US
Climate change increases water supply. Higher temperature causes more evaporation over oceans, and so more storms.

Becoming one country is at best a few steps away. They need to start with opening their economies and then move to opening their borders as the EU, ASEAN, and Africa are doing already.

How could people not find Geopolitics interesting? 🙄
Because it doesn't affect them personally. People prefer to live in their bubble without knowing what's actually happening in the world.
People dont read. They'd rather watch. Fewer people watch videos about non-fiction histroy, contemporary histroy and geopolitics, and even fewer still read about non-fiction history, or contemporary history and geopolitics.
Most people generally don't want to expand their horizons or make the effort to process and understand difficult information. They want to only absord convenient, easily-absorbed information that confirms their own worldview and biases. It's why so many older people are incapable of anyone challenging them with something that goes against what they believe: years of not using their brains. Sadly it seems to be getting worse with young folks.

Around 2011 I wrote a paper for high-school about the pending water crisis the world is facing. In it, I believe I said water wars would start around 2050...my numbers were a few decades off apparently
Water wars have always happened since the times of the Mesopotamian, you are far away from being a prophet there are this kind of conflicts that are already happening is just that it is along small countries and usually artifical conflicts caused by badly drawn borders (the real problem will be if china blocks water access to India and Pakistán, them we will have trouble)

But still the idea that the Central Asians are somehow going to blow up each other overnight over the water issue is a bit of a tall story. The politicians at the national and regional levels are quite a historically savvy bunch but you are right things can sometimes get out of hand due to inflaming tensions at the local level. The Russians are clearly the real force holding much of the cards behind the scenes at multiple levels ! Anyway kudos to your team for producing a near excellent clip both in terms of academic research and multimedia quality !
