First_East_Turkestan_Republic

The Turkic Islamic Republic of East Turkestan (IRET; Uighur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان ئىسلام جۇمھۇرىيىتى, Sherqiy Türkistan Turk-Islam Jumhuriyiti, Шәрқий Түркистан Ислам Җумхурийити; Chinese: 東突厥斯坦伊斯蘭共和國) was a short-lived breakaway Islamic republic founded on 12 November 1933; it was the first state to style itself an "Islamic republic." It was centred on the city of Kashgar in what is today China-administered Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The ETR was primarily the product of an independence movement of the Uyghur population living there and more broadly of Turkic-ethnicity in character, including Kyrgyz and other Turkic peoples in its government and its population.
