Tajikistan went through a 5-year civil war beginning in 1992 to become a nation-state. The Tajikistani Civil War was between Tajikistan's Moscow-backed Government and rebel groups in opposition. The rebel groups were led by a combination of Islamists and liberal democratic reformers, who eventually went as the United Tajik Opposition (UTO). A peace accord was signed in 1997 between the Government and the rebel UTO. Somewhere between 20,000-100,000 people were killed overall.
