The founding state of the Kazakh people, emerging from the fragmentation of the Golden Horde and spanning the vast Kazakh Steppe before Russian conquest in the 19th century.
Gradually absorbed by the Russian Empire during the 18th and early 19th centuries; the Kazakh Khanate was formally abolished in stages — the Middle Horde in 1822 and the Little Horde in 1824 — when Russia abolished the institution of the khan and introduced direct administration; the last major resistance, led by self-proclaimed Khan Kenesary Qasymuly, ended with his death in 1847.
