Kipchak

Kipchak refers to a historical Turkic group that played a significant role in the medieval period, particularly between the 10th and 13th centuries. They originated from the region around the Caspian Sea and became known for their nomadic lifestyle and equestrian skills. The Kipchak Confederation was a powerful alliance of tribes that established control over parts of Central Asia and Eastern Europe. They influenced the culture, politics, and economy of the regions they inhabited, notably impacting the formation of states like the Golden Horde and contributing to the dynamics of trade and warfare during their time.
