Kazakh Khanate was established by
Janibek Khan and
Kerei Khan in
1465. From 16th to 17th century, the Kazakh Khanate ruled and expanded its territories to eastern
Cumania (modern-day
West Kazakhstan), to most of
Uzbekistan,
Karakalpakstan and the
Syr Darya river with military confrontation as far as
Astrakhan and
Khorasan Province. The Khanate was later weakened by a series of
Oirat and
Dzungar invasions. These resulted in a decline and further disintegration into
three Juzes, which gradually lost their sovereignty and were incorporated to the expanding Russian Empire in the 19th century.
