THE FORMATION OF THE UYGHUR STATE IN THE TERRITORY OF EASTERN TURKESTAN AND ITS INTEGRATION INTO THE EMPIRE OF GENGHIS KHAN
Abstract
This article examines the formation of the Uyghur state in Eastern Turkestan and its integration into the empire of Genghis Khan. Due to its strategic location on the Silk Road, the Uyghurs played a key role in trade and cultural interactions. Under Genghis Khan’s rule, they became part of the Mongol political and military system, contributing significantly to administrative governance and economic development. Their political and cultural transformation helped stabilize the Mongol empire. The close ties between the Uyghurs and Mongols were significant not only in military and economic aspects but also in cultural exchange
