Abstract

The empire of the Golden Horde, built by Batu, son of Djodji and the
grand son of Genghis Khan, around 1240, was an empire which united the
whole East-Europe under its domination. The Golden Horde empire
comprised ali of the remnants of the earlier nomadic peoples of Turkic
language in the steppe area which were then known under the common name
of Tatar within this new political framework. The Golden Horde ruled
directly över the Eurasian steppe from Khwarezm to the Danube and över the
Russian principalities in the forest zone indirectly as tribute-paying states.
Already in the second half of the 13th century the western part of the steppe
from the Don river to the Danube tended to become a separate political entity
under the powerful emir Noghay. In the second half of the 14th century rival
branches of the Djodjid dynasty, each supported by a group of the dissident
clans, started a long struggle for the Ulugh-Yurd, the core of the empire in
the lower itil (Volga) river, and for the title of Ulugh Khan which meant
the supreme ruler of the empire.
