Eastern Göktürk Khaganate

Overview

The Eastern Turkic Khaganate was formed as a result of the destructive wars in the beginning of the 7th century after the First Turkic Khaganate had splintered into two polities – one in the east, one in the west. The Eastern Turkic Khaganate was defeated and absorbed by the Tang dynasty, and Xueyantuo occupied the territory of the former Turkic Khaganate.
