With the collapse of the Qing in 1911, the short-lived republic and the newly established Xian Dynasty would continue to claim the territory. It wouldn't be until the 1930s (following the suppression of an Islamic rebellion) that the Xian were able to secure their claims. Xian forces would later use Xinjiang as a forward base during their invasions of the Soviet Union and British Raj.
During World War II, many Uyghurs and Kazakhs fled across the border into the Soviet Union, with many siding with them to recapture the territory from the Xian. The Red Army captures the Ili region in 1944 and establish a communist puppet state (the Uyghur SSR).
