Kazakh Khanate
The Kazakh Khanate was founded by Kerei and Janibek Khan, descendants of Genghis Khan who broke away from the Uzbek Khanate. It ruled the Kazakh steppe and later divided into the Senior, Middle and Junior juz (hordes). The Dzungar wars weakened it, and Russia absorbed the hordes in the 18th and 19th centuries.
