The Golden Horde collapse

The article is devoted to the issue of the Golden Horde collapse. The process of the Jochid Empire collapse into Turkic-Tatar states took place over several decades. After the defeat in the war with Tamerlane, Khan Tokhtamysh tried to revive the country, but Idegey and his dummy khans opposed him. Tokhtamysh’s sons continued their father’s work, and all died in the struggle for power. Later, Tokhtamysh’s close relative Ulugh Muhammad and his brothers headed the proto-Toktamysh party and, ultimately failing to unite the country, created several Tatar polities.
