The Kazakh diasporas in the world were formed as a result of many historical events. Throughout the history of Kazakhstan, Kazakhs left their homeland for other countries only in exceptional circumstances – as a result of political, economic, and religious oppression, rebellions and wars, genocide and famine, particularly, in the early Soviet period; therefore, this type of migration was often forced and violent. Kazakhs moved to neighboring countries, and some of them found their shelter in countries of Europe and even across the ocean in the Americas, while others found themselves living abroad as a result of new borders.
