Summary
For a long time the study of social history of the Eurasian nomads has remained an independent field of research. Nomads created peculiar social systems, most of them short-lived but leaving noticeable imprints on the humankind's history. After the collapse of the Khaganate and years of dependence on China (630–682 AD), the nomads managed to restore their empire, which existed until 744 AD when it was incorporated into political coalitions of the Uyghurs and the Qïrqïz. Despite their relatively short history, the early medieval Türks created a vivid culture and ideology, as well as a complex social system, which became a model for many of the nomadic tribes of the Central Asian region
