Uzbekistan mentioned!!! I am so optimistic about Central Asia I am sure I am missing some nasty surprises for the future. I almosr wish it could fly more under the radar but it's going to be further used as an attack surfacs against Russia and China.
Damn, are you Uzbeki? If so, I'm so interested in your country. The architecture is so different to that of my country and so beautiful, you have such an ancient and rich history being in the middle of the silk road, food looks absolutely amazing (I had the chance to try Uzbek bread in Russia and it was great)... Tell me more pls T_T
Oh, Vietnam is also super cool. I mostly know from Luna Oi, as I don't have any friends or acquaintances from Vietnam, but the people look very friendly and nice and the cuisine also amazing. I'm afraid to say I don't know much of the ancient history of Vietnam, it would be interesting to know more! Any good resources on it in English? I'm thinking something like the channel Gates of Kilikien for the history of China, but for Vietnam.
Well I have mostly read some bougie ancient history of Vietnam but I will post some screenshots from more based books which aren't specifically about Vietnam but have useful sections about Vietnamese history (also Laos Cambodia and China) with Libgen links on /c/history@lemmy.ml or here and ping you when I get home
I am pretty lightweight on ancient history everywhere and I've been trying to remedy it. While I often diverge from their opinions on modern times post-1990, world systems writers are very good about this. There are a few journals here and there which actually post world systems papers too

No I have one Uzbek friend and it went to my head I'm sorry 🥲 I live in Vietnam 😃
I have been reading a lot about Kazakhstan to try to catch up before the Washington inter-agency racket really starts trying to fuck with them again
