Kazakhstan, a vast country in Central Asia with a bit in Europe, has a history filled with nomadic groups and powerful empires. Throughout history, various nomadic groups and empires have inhabited this land. The Scythians (Nomadic Iranian), Achaemenid Persian Empire, and Turkic nomads were early inhabitants.

In 552, a significant Turkic kingdom (The First Turkic Khaganate), was established by Bumin Qaghan in the Mongolian Plateau, spreading westward toward the Caspian Sea. Around the early 11th century, the Cumans (Turkic nomadic people) arrived in the steppes of present-day Kazakhstan, later forming a substantial confederation with the Kipchak (Turkic nomadic people), known as the Cuman-Kipchak confederation. It was an alliance of Turkic-speaking nomadic tribes that inhabited the Eurasian Steppe during the 11th to 13th centuries.

The Mongol Empire conquered Kazakhstan in the 13th century, leading to significant changes in the region. After the Mongol Empire declined, the Kazakh Khanates arose, semi-independent states led by tribal leaders called khans. These Khanates often had power struggles but managed to cooperate.
