Presentation of "3-1 mh-21" student Bakaev Umidjon for the subject "Modern history of Uzbekistan" Formation of the independent Republic of Uzbekistan and its historical significance

The cotton monopoly led the republic's economy to develop unilaterally and become the raw material base of the Union. As a result, Uzbekistan is unable to meet even half of its needs for basic industrial products. 9% of cotton grown in the country is processed. In some regions and districts, cotton fields accounted for 75-80%. In particular, in Andijan, 88% of the land is planted with cotton, and only the roofs of houses are left. This shows how difficult the situation was. Uzbekistan was considered a cotton factory.
