The Siberian Khanate was a historical state that existed in Siberia during the 15th and 16th centuries. It emerged after the decline of the Golden Horde, a powerful Mongol empire. The Khanate was established by the Siberian Tatars, who were influenced by both Mongol and Turkic cultures. Its capital was located in Kashlyk, near the modern city of Tyumen. The Siberian Khanate played a significant role in the region's trade and politics. It was involved in conflicts with neighboring powers, including the expanding Russian Empire. The Khanate eventually fell to Russian forces in the late 16th century, leading to the incorporation of Siberia into Russia.
