Timurid Empire

The Timurid Empire was a Turco-Mongol empire which existed in Central Asia. In Brazilian's Varna series, the empire only enjoyed a brief presence, before their collapse on New Year's Day 1455 (Episode II: "Protection"). In reality the empire endured until 1507.

== The Collapse ==
When the Timurids met their end in 1455, their territories were immediately invaded by most of their land neighbours; Delhi, Chagatai, the Golden Horde, Qara Qoyunlu, Kashmir, and Sindh. During the expansions, several states were formed in the Timurid lands. In August 1455; the Kokand Khanate, Transoxiana, and Baltistan, the first of which was claiming territories occupied by the Chagatai Khanate. Hence, Chagatai went to war with Kokand and Transoxiana.
1456 brought a similar event. With the formation of Afghanistan, Sistan, and Baluchistan, the latter ended up in a war with the expanding Sindh.
1457 saw the foundation of two new Persian dynasties: the Nerasids centred around Shiraz, and the Hamanids centred around Esfahan. At the same time, the Khanate of Khiva was formed, and Baluchistan and Sindh signed a white peace. 
In 1458, Chagatai defeated Kokand and Transoxiana, so the Treaty of Tashkent was signed to recognise Chagatai's claims.
1459 saw the formation of Tabaristan and Khorasan, marking the end of anarchy in the former Timurid lands. Delhi then annexed what they had conquered.
