Abstract |
: |
This study concerns the history of the Qara Khatai in Turkistan and Transoxania between the years 519H – 608H / 1125 – 1211AD. The Qara Khatai is a group of interracial tribes originating from Mongolians and Tungusians that have settled in Manchuria since ancient times. These tribes have gone through three major stages that had shaped their political history. The first stage was when they were oppressed in Manchuria, and they succeeded in this stage by creating a dynasty of their own. The second stage began in 294H / 907AD, when they managed to create a great empire of their own, which incorporated China, Manchuria and Mongolia, known as the Liao Empire. In both the aforementioned stages the tribes were known as the Khata. In the third stage these tribes had achieved to establish a nation for themselves in Turkistan and Transoxania, after some of the people were forced to leave China and relocate to Turkistan under the leadership of Yelü Dashi. These people were named Qara Khatai to differentiate themselves from their Chinese ancestors. The third stage and the relationship of the Qara Khatai with the Islamic World are the proposed study in this dissertation. The nation of Qara Khatai had an active role in the formation of the events that gave Islamic East. The spatial dimension of the study includes a wide range, extending from China in the east to Lake Caspian in the west; and from Manchuria in the north to India in the south. The time dimension of this nation, on the other hand, reaches up to almost a century. This study unravels the great importance that the Qara Khatai represents to the Islamic World; whence the engaged area is counted as one of the most important Faontier areas of the Islamic Caliphate as it is situated at the border separating the Islamic lands from the Idolater ones in the eastern side. Therefore, it is characterized by an enormous strategic importance in both politics and economy. The area stands for the depth of security for the Islamic East, since it is the meeting point between roads of the east and the west. Also, the study of the history of the Qara Khatai, and its political connection with the surrounding forces, clearly depicts the nature of the political and social situations that reigned during that period. Based on that, several results have overshadowed the Islamic World in general and the Islamic East in particular. This study counts as a natural introduction to the Mongolian conquest of the Islamic World, because of the convergence of the time-frame between the ending of the Qara Khatai and the beginning of the march of the Mongols over the eastern territories of the Islamic World. |
