Tokhtamysh-Timur war

Years: 1385 - 1395

The Tokhtamysh-Timur war is fought in the 1380s and early 1390s between Tokhtamysh, khan of the Golden Horde and the Turkic warlord and conqueror Timur, in the areas of the Caucasus mountains, Turkistan and southern Russia.

The battle between the two Turkic rulers played a key role in the decline of the Turkic power in southern Russia.

"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)
