Turkestan, Central Asia - Bukhara, Kokand or Khiva, circa 19th century. 
The Emirate of Bukhara was a Central Asian state that existed from 1785 to 1920 in what is now modern-day Uzbekistan. It occupied the land between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers. Its core territory was the land along the lower Zarafshan river, and its urban centers were the ancient cities of Samarkand and the emirate's capital Bukhara.
The Khanate of Kokand was established in 1709 when the Shaybanid Emir Shahrukh, of the Ming Tribe of Uzbeks, declared independence from the Khanate of Bukhara, establishing a state in the eastern part of the Fergana Valley.
The Khanate of Khiva  was a Central Asian polity that existed in the historical region of Khwarezm in Central Asia from 1511 to 1920, except for a period of Afsharid occupation by Nadir Shah between 1740 and 1746. Centred in the irrigated plains of the lower Amu Darya, south of the Aral Sea, with the capital in the city of Khiva, the country was ruled by a Turco-Mongol tribe, the Knongirads, who came from Astrakhan. It covered present western Uzbekistan, southwestern Kazakhstan and much of Turkmenistan before Russians arrival at the second half of the 19th century
