The largest landlocked country in the world used to be Mongolia, and the former republic of Kazakhstan after the partition of the Soviet Union exceeded the size of the Mongolian People's Republic, becoming the largest landlocked country. Coincidentally, both countries recognize Genghis Khan as the ancestor of their people.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, because someone has a job, and everyone will say that he is his hometown and has something to do with himself. If any historical figure has the ability, it is also a fragrant feast, and everyone is fighting and rushing to pull the relationship.
After Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period was made a military man and a politician by Luo Guanzhong, Nanyang in Henan and Xiangyang in Hubei province competed to recognize their relatives, and for this reason they fought for hundreds of years, regardless of victory or defeat.
Genghis Khan's ability is greater than Zhuge Liang's, he was once invincible and invincible, he once had great ambitions and expeditions to Europe and Asia, and he had the largest country in the world.
Therefore, many people rush to regard Genghis Khan as their ancestors, even if they are not related to him at all, they are not related to him, and the people who have been abused and slaughtered by him are also proud of being conquered by Genghis Khan.
However, the Kazakh people and Genghis Khan to climb the family, not all because they are too snobbish, people really have a little bit of ties to Genghis Khan, there is a certain historical origin.
There is a famous saying in Kazakhstan: Genghis Khan brought us history, the month is not Khan created us faith, so that we are not confused; Genghis Khan created history for us, let us be glorious.
The origin of the Kazakh state is very early, the source composition is very complex, and it was established as early as BC. But the word Kazakh appeared at the end of the fifteenth century, after the Mongol Conquest. At that time, the result of the Mongol cavalry's western expedition was the establishment of the Golden Horde, and the founder was Temujin, ruled by his eldest son Shuchi. It existed for 200 years, and in the middle of the 15th century, the country was destroyed by Timur and split into seven states, of which Kazakhstan was one. The White Horde was an early vassal state of the Golden Horde.
The grandfather of the two chiefs of the Kazakh Khanate, Ullus, was the head of a vassal state of the Early Golden Horde, the White Horde. In this way, the Kazakhs are the descendants of Temujin. The Kazakhs are a people of the same ethnic group as the Mongols.
But the Kazakh state had by this time become tainted, and this change began shortly after the establishment of the Golden Horde.
The Golden Horde was too far away from its "homeland" and its centripetal force gradually weakened. Surrounded by powerful enemies everywhere, the living environment is very harsh, especially the Turks are eyeing it. The Golden Horde was like a child without a wife, helpless. In order to adapt to the environment and survive, he chose to compromise, showed goodwill to the Turks, moved closer to them, and began to believe in the Islam of the Turks and intermarried with the Turks.
In the later period of the Golden Horde, the rulers even introduced laws that strictly prohibited their people from practicing shamanism, the state religion of Mongolia.
By this time, the Golden Horde had begun to metamorphose, they had become Tatars, tatars spoke Tatar, which originally belonged to turkic languages, but had long since separated and formed differences.
Although the rulers of Kazakhstan are related to Temujin, many of the country's people are Turks who were conquered by Temujin, and after they went into exile in Central Asia, their own characteristics were still retained, or they were turkic.
Moreover, in the process of continuous expansion, the Kazakh state has gradually integrated with the various ethnic groups in the conquered areas and mixed races.
By the beginning of the 16th century, the Kazakhs were no longer Tatars, and they formed new tribes: the three tribes of The Great Jade, the Middle Jade, and the Little Jade, and although they were still Tatars, they were complex in composition and were no longer pure Tatars. By the 18th century, under the threat of the Dzungar Khanate, the three tribes had fallen into the arms of Russia.
Later, the invincible Dzungar Khanate was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty in 1757, and the Great Yuzi and Zhongyuzi were once annexed by the Qing Empire.
In the 19th century, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to decline, Russia took advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied Chinese land south of Lake Balkhash in 1864. So far, Kazakhstan has become a Russian bag.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian Revolution took place, and Kazakhstan gained a brief period of independence, for a time separated from Russian rule and merged into the Arash Autonomous Republic.
Since then, the political situation in Russia has changed repeatedly, and the fate of Kazakhstan has also been difficult. After several twists and turns, Kazakhstan was named the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic after the establishment of the Soviet Union and became a republic of the Soviet Union.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan was renamed the Republic of Kazakhstan on December 10, 1991.
Since the founders of Kazakhstan were the leaders of the White Horde, and the leaders of the White Horde were not only vassals of the Golden Horde, but also descendants of the Golden Horde, the founder of the Golden Horde was a descendant of Temujin (Genghis Khan). Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Kazakhs to crown Genghis Khan as their ancestor. Moreover, if people go to high places and water flows to low places, if Genghis Khan is a person who has no ability, everyone will not rush to recognize his relatives. For example, there are many people who rush to climb with King Wen of Zhou, Confucius, and Liu Bang, and very few people are related to Qin Juniper, Wei Zhongxian, and Shi Jingyao.
