Chagatai Khanate
- This article or section should include material from Chaghataite khanate.
Chagatai Khan (alternative spellings Chagata, Chugta, Chagta, Djagatai), a son of Genghis Khan, controlled the Mongol Empire territories of Central Asia. He inherited most of what are now the five Central Asian states and Northern Iran after the death of his father which he ruled until his death in 1241. The Empire later came to be known as the Chagatai Khanate, part of the Mongol Empire. These territories would later become the Mongol-Turkish states.
By 1369, Tamerlane would conquer the Chagatai Khanate in his attempt to reconstruct the Mongol Empire.
