Timurid Empire was established by Temür Beg in 1370 and it was a maintenance of the Western Chagatai Khanate. Temür described himself as “Amir of the Ulus”, appointed puppet Khans and this implementation continued until 1450, Abd al-Latif’s dethronation, although interrupted by the long reign of Sultan Shahrukh. After 1450, the empire was still referred as the Ulus of Chagatai yet less frequent. When rule of Babur, a descendent of Temür, reduced to Kabulistan and then expanded to India, he had still identified himself as Chagatai/Turki. In this context, history of the Western Chagatai State, as an interconnected part of Timurid History, starts in 1346, and ends when Timurids were exterminated by the Shaybanids, and Babur establishes a new branch of Timurid dynasty in India from its ashes
