 | | Through out most of the history of the Kazakh khanate, it was primarily involved in numerous conflicts with either themselves (Great Horde, vs Middle Horde, vs Little Horde), or with the Jungars (Eastern Mongols, and the antagonist of many Kazakh and Kyrgyz legends). |
 | | Due to the conflict with the Jungars, the Kazakh hordes often allied with the Qing and Russia, the latter of which, would exploit the ongoing conflict and eventually absorb all 3 Kazakh hordes and Jungars of the Caspian (aka the Kalmyks). |
 | | The reasons why the Qing invited the Kazakhs was due to the distrust of the Uighur and Hui, and the land being considered a region forbidden to the Hans. |
