Crimean or Giray Khanate (Tartars)
The Crimean Khanate rose on the remains of the Golden Horde and controlled much of the Crimea from1441-1783 as vassals of the Golden Horde, then the Ottoman Empire (1475), and then the Russian Empire (1783). They were nominally independent state of the Crimean Tatar people. founded by Haji Giray in 1441. The khanate included the Crimean peninsula (except the South and South-West seashore) and the plains of modern Southern Ukraine, and possessed lands in Circassia in Northern Caucasus at its greatest extent.
The Crimea colony of the Genoese in Kaffa is famously the proximate source for Europe of the Black Death, as Genghis Khans lieutenants hurled plagued ridden bodies into the city during the seige of Kaffa and the defeated returned to Italy with the plague.
