Pan-Turkism is the name given to the idea of uniting all Turkic-speaking peoples of the Caucasus, the Volga-Ural region, the Crimea, Western and Central Asia under the aegis of a greater Turkish state. According to Pan-Turkist advocates, Turkic peoples have certain characteristics in common, such as related languages, a supposedly common descent and common history, and cultural traditions. Pan-Turkism was inspired by linguistic, ethnolinguistic and racial research in European Oriental Studies in the 19th century. The "scientific" foundations of Pan-Turkism, which are rejected today, go back to contemporaneous "Turan research". The terms Pan-Turkism and Turanism were often used synonymously in the beginning, although the geographical reach of the latter was greater. Pan-Turkism appeared among the Turkic peoples in the Russian Empire, especially in the Volga-Ural region, in conjunction with a "national awakening". Around 1900, Pan-Turkism also developed in the Ottoman Empire into a political independence movement.
