The Foundations of the Mongol Chagatai Government Formation in Transoxiana (624 AH – 771 AH / 1227 CE – 1370 CE)

In the divisions established by Genghis Khan, Transoxiana was assigned to Chagatai, one of Genghis's sons. The Chagatai dynasty ruled this region from 624 AH (1227 AD) to 763 AH (1362 AD). Due to their policies and nomadic lifestyle, they caused cities in this area, such as Bukhara and Samarkand—once beautiful, prosperous cities and centers of Islamic culture and civilization, especially during the Samanid period—to gradually decline and fall into ruin. In fact, the Chagatais represented the nomadic and backward Mongols, whose lives were defined by the Yassa. Their rule, lasting over 130 years, led the region under their governance into a downward spiral of decline.
