Alghu was able to recruit a new army with the aid of Orghana and Mas'ud Yalavach. Ariq BГ¶ke devastated the Ili region in his absence. Ariq BГ¶ke attacked him and while Alghu experienced initial success in fending off the Ariq BГ¶ke's army, was forced to flee to Samarkand in 1263. Alghu rebelled against Ariq BГ¶ke upon securing power and defected to Kublai Khan's side in the Toluid Civil War. In 1260, Ariq BГ¶ke replaced Mubarak Shah with Alghu, a grandson of Chagatai Khan. Mubarak Shah was too young to rule and state affairs were managed by his mother Orghana. Qara HГјlegГј died on his way home and was succeeded by his son Mubarak Shah. In 1252 he was deposed by MГ¶ngke Khan, who installed Qara HГјlegГј again. He was a drunkard who left the affairs of the state to his wife and minister Beha ad-Din Marghinani. YesГј MГ¶ngke came to power because he was a personal friend of GГјyГјk Khan. In 1246, GГјyГјk Khan replaced him with one of his uncles, YesГј MГ¶ngke.

Qara HГјlegГј was too young to rule independently so the widowed khatun Ebuskun ruled as regent in his place. Д¬hagatai Khan died in 1242 and was succeeded by his grandson Qara HГјlegГј, whose father Mutukan had been killed in 1221 during the Siege of Bamyan. In 1238 there was a Muslim uprising in Bukhara, but Mahmud's son Mas'ud crushed it the next year before Mongol troops were able to arrive, thereby saving the populace from Mongol vengeance. When he dismissed the governor of Transoxania, Mahmud Yalavach, Г–gedei Khan reinstated Mahmud, whose dynasty continued to administer the region even after the death of Chagatai. Chagatai was not fully independent in his khanate however and still received orders from Karakorum. When Genghis Khan died in 1227, his son Chagatai Khan inherited the regions roughly corresponding to the defunct Qara Khitai Empire: Issyk-Kul, Ili River, Chu River, Talas River, Transoxania, and the Tarim Basin. See also: Timeline of the Chagatai Khanate Vassal of the Great Khan (1226вЂ“1266) In 1680, the remaining Chagatai domains lost their independence to the Dzungar Khanate, and in 1705, the last Chagatai khan was removed from power, ending the dynasty of Chagatai. The reduced realm came to be known as Moghulistan, which lasted until the late 15th century, when it broke off into the Yarkent Khanate and Turpan Khanate. During the mid-14th century, the Chagatais lost Transoxania to the Timurids. Initially, the rulers of the Chagatai Khanate recognized the supremacy of the Great Khan, but by the reign of Kublai Khan, Ghiyas-ud-din Baraq no longer obeyed the emperor's orders. At its height in the late 13th century, the khanate extended from the Amu Darya south of the Aral Sea to the Altai Mountains in the border of modern-day Mongolia and China, roughly corresponding to the defunct Qara Khitai Empire. The Chagatai Khanate, or Chagatai Ulus ( Mongolian: Р¦Р°РіР°Р°РґР°Р№РЅ СѓР»СЃ Uzbek: ChigК»atoy ulusi Chinese: еЇџеђ€еЏ°ж±—ењ‹ Persian: Ш®Ш§Щ†Ш§ШЄ Ш¬ШєШЄШ§ЫЊвЂЋ), was a Mongol and later Turkicized khanate that comprised the lands ruled by Chagatai Khan, second son of Genghis Khan and his descendants and successors.
