The area was conquered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/russia-google-maps\/\">Russia<\/a> in the 18th century, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a> became a Soviet Republic in 1936. Soviet policies reduced the number of ethnic Kazakhs in the 1930s and enabled non-ethnic Kazakhs to outnumber natives. During the 1950s and 1960s agricultural &#8220;Virgin Lands&#8221; program, Soviet citizens were encouraged to help cultivate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a>&#8217;s northern pastures. This influx of immigrants (mostly Russians, but also some other deported nationalities) further skewed the ethnic mixture. Non-Muslim ethnic minorities departed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a> in large numbers from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s and a national program has repatriated about a million ethnic Kazakhs back to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a>. These trends have allowed Kazakhs to become the titular majority again. This dramatic demographic shift has also undermined the previous religious diversity and made the country more than 70% Muslim. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a>&#8217;s economy is larger than those of all the other Central Asian states largely due to the country&#8217;s vast natural resources. Current issues include: developing a cohesive national identity, expanding the development of the country&#8217;s vast energy resources and exporting them to world markets, diversifying the economy, enhancing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/kazakhstan-google-maps\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a>&#8217;s economic competitiveness, and strengthening relations with neighboring states and foreign powers.
