Everything about The White Horde totally explained
The
White Horde () was one of the
khanates (within the
Mongol Empire) formed around
1226, after the death of
Genghis Khan and subsequent division of his empire. It was the western constituent part of the
Golden Horde (the eastern part was the
Blue Horde).
Initially it covered the western part of the territory ruled by
Jochi and included western
Central Asia and south-western
Siberia. Its first
khan was
Orda-Ichen, son of Jochi. The capital of the White Horde was originally at
Lake Balkhash, but later moved to
Sygnaq,
Kazakhstan on the
Syr-Darya River.
In 1364, during the
Blue Horde's period of anarchy, (1357-1380),
Urus Khan, eighth khan of the White Horde, became a contested khan of both the Blue Horde and the White Horde. Urus died in 1377, and when his nephew
Toqtamish wrested control of the White Horde from Urus's son
Temür Malik in 1378, he regained control of the Blue Horde as well. Toqtamish consolidated the two hordes, becoming the Khan of the
Golden Horde.
