Volga
At the beginning of the 13th century, the Mongols destroyed the Volga-Bulgar Principality.
In 1242, the Golden Horde, a vast Mongol state stretching from the Danube River in the west to the Irtysh River in the east, was proclaimed, and the Turks, Tatars, Spaniards, and Russians came under Mongol rule.
Construction of Kazan began in the second half of the 13th century.
At the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century, the Golden Horde began to decline and gradually split into various khanates.
In 1438, the Tatars broke away from the Golden Horde and established the Kazan Khanate.
