THE KYRGYZ PEOPLE.
Very little is known about the earliest history of the Kyrgyz. In an inscription, written on a funeral stone in 732 AD, the Kyrgyz people are mentioned as having become the subjects of another Turkic people, the nomadic Kok Turks. At that time the Kyrgyz lived north of the Kok Turks, in the region of the upper Yenisey river. They were hunters and to a certain extent cattle breeders. By 845 AD the Kyrgyz established themselves in the realm of their former masters who had been overthrown in 742 AD by the Uygurs, another nomadic Turkic tribe. The Kok Turks and Uygurs who had ruled their domains from the Olukan mountain region, located between the rivers Orkhon and Selenga in present-day Northwestern Mongolia, maintained throughout their history a war and trade relationship with China. This relationship was not continued by the Kyrgyz, who are rarely mentioned in Chinese records. It seems that they kept themselves away from Chinese interference and influence.

In 940 AD the Kyrgyz were driven out of Northern Mongolia b у the Kitay, a Mongolian people, and returned to the Yenisey region which they appeared to have kept under their control. The next major event in the history of the Kyrgyz is their expulsion from the Yenisey into the Altay mountains by the Mongols of Chinghiz Khan in the 13th century. Only in the 16th century did the Kyrgyz arrive in their present habitat, the mountain territory of Kyrgyzstan. Around 1750 the Kalmuks, another Mongol tribe who lived east of the Kyrgyz in present-day northwestern parts of Xijiang, brought indescribable devastation to the region during a series of wars with the Kyrgyz. Between 1860-1870 the Kyrgyz were conquered by the Russians.
