Aftermath of the Ilkhanate's Collapse

Timeline

1. 1371–1374Iraq and Mesopotamia · IraqAfter the Ilkhanate's collapse, the Jalairids controlled Baghdad and Tabriz, the Muzaffarids held Fars and Kirman, and the Kartids held Herat. These regimes recognized no overlordship over one another, and border raids and contests over trade routes became commonplace.
2. 1374–1380Baghdad · MesopotamiaAfter the death of the Jalairids' most capable ruler Shaykh Uways in 1374, sons fought for the throne and powerful ministers usurped authority; Muzaffarid forces captured Tabriz and the Black Sheep Turkomans recovered Mosul. The Ilkhanate's last nominal power rapidly disintegrated, and the Middle East's core fell into a power vacuum.
3. 1376–1380Khurasan · KhurasanAfter consolidating rule over Transoxiana in the 1370s, Timur repeatedly campaigned against Ilkhanate remnants, clashing with the Jalairids, Muzaffarids, and Kartids. In 1380 Timur formally launched his western campaign into Persia, marking the aftermath of the Ilkhanate's collapse entering a new phase of absorption by a rising empire.
