AMIR TEMUR CREATED A GREAT KINGDOM (1386-1402) Amir Temur created a great kingdom stretching from the Ganges River in what is now India to the Volga River ,and from the Tian Shan Mountains to Bosfor. He built an enormous empire which included parts of Turon, Iran, Rome, Magreb, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Khoroson, Jeddah, and Great Tataristan. It is said that his “3 years, 5 years” glorious military marches were well-known all over the world. Before his military march to one or another kingdom he suggested peaceful proposals, and when these kings did not agree with him, Temur began his military actions. Thanks to these qualities he differs from other kings and governors. In the final period of his life Temur prepared for a great campaign against China, but died in February 1405 at the age of 69 in the city of Otrar. His body was taken to Samarkand and interred at the Gur-Amir mausoleum. During the Mongol invasion, Samarkand was razed to the ground. The memory of the invader was expressed in the following saying, “They came destroyed, killed, plundered and left.”The period from the end of the 14 th century to the middle of the 15 th century marked a peak in the economic, political and cultural life in Samarkand
