History: 
The area of the Kazakh Khanate had always been home to many tribes and peoples. After the division of the Mongol empire it was known for a time as the Golden Horde, before it slowly declined and was eventually taken over by the Russian Empire. The Kazakh people however, have always yearned for their independence. Before and during the Great War, there were a lot of uprisings, the most serious being the Central Asian revolt in 1916. When the Russian Empire withdrew in that same year however, they brutally put down the revolt and suppressed further attempts for Kazakh independence. 

These independence movements never truly disappeared though. When the great economic depression after the war hit the world, the people of Kazakhstan paid a terrible price for their desire for independence: The Russian empire refused to help the Kazakh people in any  way, and many starved to death after a drought was in the area for several years. This angered the Kazakh even more, and even many Russian loyalists and colonists who had been sent by the Russians to settle the steppe supported the call for freedom from the yoke of Russian oppression, as their families had been hit by the drought and the famine that followed as well. After the assassination of the Czar in 1952, all hell broke loose in Central Asia. The people of Kazakhstan finally declared their independence from the Russian Empire, but there were many different factions with a lot of different interests, and  those factions eventually started fighting each other. The bloody civil war inside Kazakhstan came to a climax at the battle of the Ertis river, where Kazakh nationalist, allied together with an independence movement that wanted to create a Kazakh Republic, slaughtered a combined communist and Russian force, and later murdered the families of many Russian settlers, claiming that they were ‘not Kazakh enough’. Many atrocities were committed on all sides. Another famous example from the civil war was a battle in the west of Central Asia, where the faction known as the Kazakh People’s Front fought against the People’s Front of Kazakhstan. Eventually, an uneasy truce was made between the warring factions in the form of the Central Asian Federation. The federation consisted of all countries in Central Asia, although the nation with the most influence was Kazakhstan. This did not fare well with the other countries in the federation.

As a result of the unequal balance of power, the federation did not last long. Turkmenistan and Tajikistan declared their independence in 1956, two years after the start of the CAF. A year later, Uzbekistan revolted and the CAF was forced to grant them their independence, because Kazakhstan was too weak from the previous civil war. Some Kyrgyz separatists also tried to become independent, but that revolt did not have enough support and was eventually suppressed by Kazakhstan, which then annexed the territory. The leader of the Kazakhstan was Boratev Sagdiy, who desperately tried to westernize and industrialize the country. The westernization worked, partially, and a new constitution was put into place. The industrialization was a whole different story however. The country still had to deal with the aftermath of the two civil wars it had a few years before, and the country was being rebuilt very slowly.

In 1959, a man named Khazretgali Aniyarov, a general in the remaining army of Kazakhstan, overthrew the current government, and became the new leader of Kazakhstan. He told the Kazakh people that he was the reincarnation of Genghis Khan, and that the Kazakh were the heirs of the Mongol empire. He then started calling himself Alash Khan, Khan of all of the people of Kazakhstan and renamed Kazakhstan into the Kazakh Khanate. Around that time, a large amounts of oil, gas and minerals were discovered in Kazakhstan, such as potassium. All potassium of other countries is inferior. The Khanate is currently in the process of industrialisation, so it can take the best potassium so it may rival the greatness of the ancient mongol empire.
