Ghazdewan, Battle of

Years: 1512 - 1512

The Battle of Ghazdewan occurs in what is now Uzbekistan in 1512 between Babur's Mughal army and invading Uzbek tribes from Central Asia.

It results in Babur's defeat, after which he resigns hope of recovering his father's empire of Ferghana.

It also helps solidify the alliance between Babur’s nascent Mughal Empire and the Ottoman empire.

"Remember that the people you are following didn’t know the end of their own story. So they were going forward day by day, pushed and jostled by circumstances, doing the best they could, but walking in the dark, essentially."

—Hilary Mantel, AP interview (2009)
