Chagatai

The Chagatai Khanate was a Mongol ulus spanning Transoxiana and the Tarim Basin, with its capital at Almaliq. In 1337 Changshi of the Borjigin dynasty ruled the khanate.

In 1346 the amir Qazaghan killed Qazan Khan, and the realm broke apart. The Dughlat amirs raised Tughlugh Timur in eastern Moghulistan in 1347; he converted to Islam in 1354. Timur extinguished the western khanate by 1369, while the eastern Chagatayids later split into Turpan and Yarkent, with the remaining Chagatai domains falling to the Dzungars in 1680.
