Kahagan (Qaghan) was a title used by the Turkic people of the Medieval Ages. Turkic khaganate (aka Göktürks) was a vast empire in Central Asia and Mongolia between 552 and 745. It was a confederation of Turkic tribes. Their history is turbulent. In the 6th century, they challenged the power of China. At the end of the century following a civil war, the khaganate was divided into eastern and western wings. In the second half of the 7th century, both wings were defeated by the Tang China. However, in 682 they regained their independence.
