MONGOL DOMINANCE TO DESHT-I QIPCHAQ AND CUMAN-KIPCHAKS
Abstract
After establishment of
the Grand Mongol Empire by Genghis Khan at the beginning of the thirteen
century, one of the targets of the Mongol army under the command of Jebe and
Subutai became the Desht-i Qipchaq. When the Mongol army came to this wide
area, extending from Irtysh River to the Carpathian Mountains, they encountered
the Cuman-Kipchaks. As a result of the Battle Of Kalka in 1223, the
Cuman-Kipchaks took the heaviest blow
from the Mongols in the region they have been ruling since one hundred and
fifty years. After the victory of the Mongols in the territory of
Cuman-Kipchaks, some groups were submitted
to the Golden Horde and some groups had to migrate to the lands of the
Balkans and the Volga Bulgarians. Cuman-Kipchaks who took important missions in
the Golden Horde, also played an important role in the Turkification of this
state. Some group of Cuman-Kipchaks which had to migrate to the Balkans after
the defeat they had suffered as the result of the second Kipchak campaign have played
an important role in the Bulgarian and Romanian states established in the
region by providing the Turkification of the Balkans before the Ottoman Empire.
After establishment of the Golden Horde, the name of region was also known as
Desht-i Qipchaq and those who came from Batu Khan’s dynasty were named Khan of Kipchak. In this article the
relation of the Mongols and Cuman-Kipchaks will be dealt during domination of
Mongol armies Desht-i Qipchaq region and during the domination
struggles.
