Kazakhstan separated from the Soviet Union in December 1991 as part of the larger dissolution of the USSR. The push for independence was driven by rising nationalism, economic challenges, and a desire for self-determination among the Kazakh people. Following the failed coup in Moscow in August 1991, Kazakhstan's leadership, under President Nursultan Nazarbayev, declared independence to establish a sovereign state and gain control over its political and economic future. The move was formalized when Kazakhstan became one of the last republics to declare independence on December 16, 1991.
