The Shaibanid Empire
AD 1500 - 1598
The Shaibanids were Özbegs (Uzbeks) who overthrew the last of the Persian-based
Timurids,
taking the capital of Samarkand in Transoxiana & Farghana in 1505. The latter region included a small Timurid
principality and its heir, Babur, was forced to move to Kabul (1514) and
India (1526), where he founded the Moghul
Empire. |
