Eastern Moghulistan

Moghulistan, also known as the Moghul Khanate or 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 a historical geographic area north of the Tengri Tagh mountain range, bordering Central and East Asia. This region today encompasses parts of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and northwest Xinjiang. The khanate nominally ruled from the mid-14th century until the late 17th century, emerging as a nomadic tribal confederacy in the Ili River region. Despite its rulers' wealth from trade with the Ming dynasty, Moghulistan faced constant civil war and invasions from the Timurid Empire.
