Uighur Khanate.
The Uighur Khanate is the state of the Uyghurs (744-847). It appeared in the territory of the Eastern Turkic Khanate after the Bosmil Khanate. The capital is Karakurum (on the left bank of the Urhun River). During the reign of the first khagan Qutlugh Bilga khagan (from the fat clan of the Uyghurs), the territory from Altai to Manchuria looked after the Uyghur khagan. During the reign of Khagan Moyunchur (Black Khagan), the Uighur Khanate became a powerful state. He defeated the Kyrgyz in the north and the Kidans in the east and annexed their lands to his state. In the middle of the 8th century, the Uighur Khanate included the territory from Altai in the west, to the Khingan Mountains in the south, from the Gobi Desert in the south to the Sayan Mountains in the north. During the reign of Khagan Idigin, the troops of the Uyghur Khaganate took advantage of the mutual wars in China and invaded it. At the end of the 8th century, the quarrels of the local rich, the struggle of the subordinate tribes against the rule of the Uyghurs intensified, and the Uyghur khanate began to decline.
