History: In 1054, a man named Ahmad Kyzyl (Ahmad I) migrated from Dihistan to the Kara-Kim Desert, to hide from the Seljuks, who were the rivals of his tribe. He lived there as a nomad for 12 years, but in 1066, he migrated again, but into the Hindukush Mountains, because he didn’t like the deserts and the endless sand dunes. He died while crossing the Panj river, in 1075. His brother Ertugrul (Ertugrul I) succeeded him, and founded a settlement near the city of Gilgit, called the Beylik of Gilgit. But when he conquered all of the Pamir area, he also died, in battle with the Raja of Uttaranchal. His nephew, Orhan (Orhan I) founded first the Beylerbeylik of Gilgit, then the Gilgit Khaganate and then expanded so much, that Europeans viewed Gilgit as a threat. He also became the national hero, and earned the nickname “the Magnificent”. After he died in 1097, his son Abdullah (Abdullah I) succeeded him, and in 1109, he conquered first Uyghurstan, and after that he conquered Sichuan. But after his death in 1117, the Khaganate began to weaken, and in 1170 they held only the Pamir and Hindukush mountains - the remainder was conquered by Cumania, Khwarezmids, Kara-Khitai, etc. In 1213, Gilgit fell to the Mongol Empire, and became vassals of the Ilkhanate after the split of Mongolia. Then they allied with the Aq Qoyunlu and revolted in 1423. But in 1533, they were weakened, and soon after conquered by the Mughals. They got their freedom back in 1755. Orhan VI Renaissance happened after the Mughals fell, in the mid-19 century. In WW2, they were on the Allies’ side. Right now the country is ruled by Ahmad IV.
