Kazakh–Nogai War (1515–1521)

The Kazakh–Nogai War was a military conflict between the Kazakh Khanate and the Nogai Horde from 1515 to 1521.

By the 1510s, a balance of power had been restored in the region with opposing forces. The Kazakh Khanate now controlled all steppe lands north of the Syr Darya, including some cities like Sayram. On the other hand, the Uzbeks under the rule of the Shaybanids dominated Central Asia but could not control the situation in the steppes.

Significant territories of the Nogai Horde became part of the Kazakh Khanate. The capital of the Nogai Horde, the city of Sarayshyk, came under the rule of Kasym-khan and briefly served as his main headquarters. Thus, the Kazakh khan united most of the population of the Eastern Dasht-i Kipchak within the framework of the Kazakh Khanate.^[2]
