Crimean Khanate
Crimean Khanate appears on the map from 1441 to 1782. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1450, it covered about 222,809 km².
The Crimean Khanate broke away from the disintegrating Golden Horde in 1441 under Hacı Giray, founder of a dynasty descended from Genghis Khan that ruled for over three centuries from Bakhchysarai. In 1475 it became a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, which held the southern coast, yet the khans kept wide freedom and a powerful cavalry. For two centuries Crimean raiders swept into Poland-Lithuania and Russia, carrying off hundreds of thousands of captives for the slave markets of Kaffa and Istanbul, and in 1571 Devlet Giray burned Moscow.
