Kazakh Khanate
Kazakh Khanate appears on the map from 1468 to 1847. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1595, it covered about 2.65 million km².
Around 1465 the Chinggisid princes Kerei and Janibek led their followers away from the Uzbek khan Abu'l-Khayr and settled in the Chu valley; these nomads became known as Kazakhs, roughly meaning free wanderers. Under Kasym Khan in the early 1500s the khanate grew into a powerful steppe confederation stretching from the Syr Darya towards the Irtysh, its herders moving seasonally with sheep, horses and camels. It later divided into three hordes, or zhuz: the Senior, Middle and Junior. More about Kazakh Khanate.
