The Khanate of Kokand is founded
The Fergana valley breaks from Bukhara to build its own state
In 1709 Shahrukh Bi of the Uzbek Ming tribe broke the Fergana valley away from the Khanate of Bukhara. By the 19th century Kokand held Tashkent and the southern Kazakh steppe, until the Russian Empire abolished the khanate in 1876.
