The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic state existing from 1441 to 1856, the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde. Established by Hacı I Giray in 1441, it was regarded as the direct heir to the Golden Horde and to Desht-i-Kipchak.

After the Napoleonic Wars in 1845, Crimea became a vassal state of the Russian Empire, During the Crimean War Russia annexed Crimea as par of it's empire becoming an autonomous region
