Unlike many other regions of the

world, Central Asia lacks the distinct topographical

features necessary to delineate

boundaries. There are several broad

geographical zones in Central Asia nonetheless.

==================================

Situated at the crossroads of many empires, Central Asia was

tucked in between the Chinese, Europeans, Arabs, and Indians. There, in the middle of these grand

civilizations, just along the Great Silk Road, the region connected the Orient to the Occident and

linked it to major patterns in world history. It was from there that these external forces saturated

the area and shaped the course of its history

i hope this helps
