East Turkic Khaganate

The East Turkic Khaganate was a successor khanate to the original First Turkic Khaganate, founded by Turko-Mongol generals who rebelled against the collapsing state. It was located in Mongolia. After remaining as a small khanate for many decades, it expanded outwards rapidly and conquered much of the Eurasian Steppe. As a result, they declared themselves to be the successor to the first khaganate, the Second Turkic Khaganate. However, soon after this, the nation rapidly collapsed. This was mainly caused by the death of their khan in a war against Ukraine. As a result of the collapse, Mongolian rule returned to Mongolia for the first time since 232AD.
