The First Eastern Turkistan Republic (ETR), or Turkic Islamic Republic of East Turkistan (Uyghur: شەرقىي تۈركىستان ئىسلام جۇمھۇرىيىتى, Шәрқий Түркистан Ислам Җумхурийити Sherqiy Türkistan Islam Jumhuriyiti), was a short-lived breakaway would-be Islamic republic founded in 1933. It was centered on the city of Kashgar in what is today the People's Republic of China-administered Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Although primarily the product of independence movement of the Uyghur population living there, the ETR was Turkish-ethnic in character, including Kyrgyz, and other Turkic Peoples in its government and its population.
