Eastern Chagatai Khanate

Moghulistan, also known as the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, was a Turco-Mongol, Muslim breakaway khanate of the Chagatai Khanate, founded in 1347 CE and dissolved in 1570 CE. It was located in a historical geographic area north of the Tengri Tagh mountain range, on the border of Central Asia and East Asia, encompassing parts of modern-day Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and northwest Xinjiang. The khanate nominally ruled from the mid-14th century until the late 17th century, originating as a nomadic tribal confederacy in the Ili River region. Despite its rulers' wealth from trade with the Ming dynasty, it faced constant civil war and invasions from the Timurid Empire.
