Division of the Chagatai Khanate

Timeline

1. 1294–1295Ferghana (Fergana) · FerganaDuring the reigns of khans such as Mubārak Shāh, powerful ministers and princes of the Chagatai court vied for power; the khanship changed hands frequently, central authority declined sharply, and local lords began acting on their own.
2. 1296–1298Northern edge of the Tarim Basin · Tarim BasinDuwa consolidated power in the east while the cities of Transoxiana were held by different princes; east and west grew militarily and administratively separate, and the nominally unified Chagatai Khanate had in fact split into multiple power centers.
3. 1299–1300Samarkand · SamarkandBy the end of the 13th century, Transoxiana and eastern Moghulistan had each formed relatively stable fragmented orders; the Chagatai Khanate's function as a unified political entity had essentially ended, laying the structural groundwork for further division in the 14th century.
