- Description
- Pictured here is the Dzungar Khanate. In 1723, Cevang Rabtan, a Dzungar leader, led a massive invasion into eastern Kazakh (Hambley, n.d.). This lasted for five years. The memory of this national catastrophe, the “Great Disaster,” has never faded among the Kazakhs, as this was only comparable with the Mongol invasion of the 13th century (E-History, 2016).
