Nasruddin Khan, or Nasruddin Beg (Uzbek : Nasriddin Bek), was the last ruler of Khanate of Kokand, then a protectorate of the Russian empire.
He rose to power in July 1875 when his father Khudayar fled uprisings in the Ferghana Valley.
On 22 September 1875, the Russian Lieutenant General von Kaufmann forced Nasreddin Khan to sign a treaty in the city of Margilan, containing harsh conditions for the Khanate and a payment of 2 million rubles. The dissatisfied people of Kokand rebelled against this agreement, and on 9 October 1875, the rebels occupied the capital. Subsequently, Nasriddin Khan fled to Tashkent and was replaced by Pulat Khan, the leader of the rebellion.
As a reaction, a Russian army under command of Mikhail Skobelev attacked and defeated the rebels and ravaged large parts of the country, destroying Patia and the city of Andijan, causing many casualties. Pulat Khan took refuge in the Alai mountains, but was taken prisoner and was executed. The population of Kokand then sent a delegation to Khodjend, where Nasrudin was, asking for his return. Nasrudin returned to Kokand as new Khan, but the Russians had already decided to dissolve and annex the Khanate.
The Khanate of Kokand was abolished on 19 February 1876, and the region annexed to Ferghana Oblast. [1] [2]
The last Khan Nasrudin was finally able to go and live quietly, as he really wanted, in Orenburg, with a pension.

The Chagatai Khanate, or Chagatai Ulus was a Mongol and later Turkicized khanate that comprised the lands ruled by Chagatai Khan, second son of Genghis Khan, and his descendants and successors.

The Khanate of Kokand was a Central Asian polity in the Fergana Valley centred on the city of Kokand between 1709 and 1876. Its territory is today divided between Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan.
The Khanate of Khiva was a Central Asian polity that existed in the historical region of Khwarazm from 1511 to 1920, except for a period of Afsharid occupation by Nader Shah between 1740 and 1746.

In the early 16th century, Sultan Mahmud Khan, the Chagatai Khan of Western Moghulistan, and Sultan Ahmad Alaq Khan, the Chagatai Khan of Eastern Moghulistan, decided to counter the growing power of the Uzbeks under Muhammad Shaybani. Sultan Ahmed Tambol had rebelled against his Timurid master Babur and declared his independence. But when Babur tried to reconquer his territory with the help of his uncles, Ahmed Tambol sought the assistance of the Uzbeks. The two Moghul brothers united their forces and launched a campaign against Tambol, but Muhammad Shaybani surprised the Khans and proved victorious in battle of Akhsi and took them both prisoner.
Sayid Muhammad Khudayar Khan, usually abbreviated to Khudayar Khan, was a Khan of Kokand who reigned between 1845 and 1875 with interruptions. He was the son of Shir Ali Khan. During the reign of Khudayar Khan, the Khanate was suffering from a civil war and from interventions of the Emir of Bukhara. Subsequently, the Russian invasion into Central Asia first forced the Khanate to become a vassal of the Russian Empire, and in 1876 the Khanate was abolished as a result of the suppression of an uprising. In 1875, Khudayar Khan, who took a pro-Russian position, during the uprising had to flee to Orenburg in Russia. He died in exile.

In the 16th century, the Tsardom of Russia embarked on a campaign to expand the Russian frontier to the east. This effort continued until the 19th century under the Russian Empire, when the Imperial Russian Army succeeded in conquering all of Central Asia. The majority of this land became known as Russian Turkestan—the name "Turkestan" was used to refer to the area due to the fact that it was and is inhabited by Turkic peoples, excluding the Tajiks, who are an Iranian ethnicity. Upon witnessing Russia's absorption of the various Central Asian realms, the British Empire sought to reinforce India, triggering the Great Game, which ended when both sides eventually designated Afghanistan as a neutral buffer zone.
