MONGOLIAN HISTORY
 
The Period of the Turkish State

The policy of the Turkish State was aimed at taking control over the great trade road. By 580's CE, the Turkish state expanded to annex numerous aimags with people of diverse nationalities. They defeated the Ephtalit State in the west and subdued the Kirghiz people living in the Enisei basin of Siberia in the North. During the period of the Turkish State its territory expanded to reach the Korean peninsula. By the end of 4th century CE, the Turkish State was divided into the eastern and western parts. And Uighur people, who were a part of the Turkish State, defeated the eastern Turkish State in 745 CE. Thus the Uighur State became the successor of the Turkish State.
