Dzungar Khanate

The Dzungar Khanate, also written as the Zunghar Khanate, was an Oirat khanate on the Eurasian Steppe. It covered the area called Dzungaria and stretched from the west end of the Great Wall ofChina to present-day Kazakhstan, and from present-day Kyrgyzstan to southern Siberia. Most of this area today is part of the Xinjiang autonomous region in China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. The Dzungar Khanate was the last major nomadic empire left from the Mongol Empire. In 1678, Galdan received from the Dalai Lama the title of Boshogtu Khan, thus confirming the Dzungars as the leading tribe within the Oirats. However, the Dzungar rulers bore the title of Khong Tayiji (deriving from the Chinese phrase皇太子 Huang Taizi, which translates into English as "crown prince"), while the state itself was still referred to as the Dzungar Khanate.[3] Following the deaths of Galdan Boshogtu Khan in 1697 and his successor Tsewang Rabtan in 1727, the Khanate fell into a steep decline from which it would never recover, ultimately leading to its annexation and genocide by the Qing dynasty during the period of 1755–58. 

Dzungar汗国 准噶尔汗国,又称准噶尔汗国,是欧亚大草原上的一个奥拉特汗国。它覆盖了准噶尔地区,从中国长城的西端延伸到今天的哈萨克斯坦,从今天的吉尔吉斯斯坦延伸到南西伯利亚。今天这一地区的大部分是中国、哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦的新疆自治区的一部分。准噶尔汗国是蒙古帝国遗留下来的最后一个主要游牧帝国。 1678年,加尔丹从达赖喇嘛那里接受了博须都汗的称号,由此证实了准噶尔人是欧拉特人中的主要部落。 

然而,Dzungar统治者的标题Khong Tayiji(源于中国短语皇太黄子太子,翻译成英文是“皇冠prince"),而国家本身仍称为Dzungar汗国。[3] 1697年加尔丹·博绍图·汗(Galdan Boshogtu Khan)和1727年他的继任者茨旺·拉班(Tsewang Rabtan)去世后,汗国陷入了一种永远无法恢复的急剧衰落,最终导致清朝在1755年至1758年期间吞并和种族灭绝。
