Tartary, or Tartaria, is a historical term used to refer to a vast region in Eurasia, stretching from Eastern Europe to northern China and Central Asia. The term "Tartar" or "Tartarian" was used to describe various nomadic and semi-nomadic Turkic and Mongolic tribes that inhabited this region throughout history. However, the idea of a unified Tartarian civilization or empire is not supported by historical evidence and is largely considered a fringe theory or historical misconception.
The Tartar tribes were known for their skilled horsemanship and warrior culture. They were involved in various conflicts and conquests throughout history, most notably as part of the Mongol Empire in the 13th and 14th centuries under Genghis Khan and his successors. The Mongol Empire was one of the largest and most powerful empires in history, spanning much of Eurasia.
After the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire, various khanates emerged in the region, such as the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate, which were ruled by different branches of the Mongol dynasty. The term Tartary continued to be used in the West to refer to the territories of these khanates, as well as other regions in Eurasia with Turkic and Mongolic populations.
In the centuries that followed, the power dynamics in the region shifted as the khanates declined and other empires, like the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Qing Dynasty in China, expanded their territories. The concept of Tartary gradually faded from common use, and the term "Tartar" came to be associated with specific groups like the Crimean Tatars and the Volga Tatars.
In conclusion, Tartary, or Tartaria, is a historical term referring to a vast region in Eurasia and the various Turkic and Mongolic tribes that inhabited it. While these tribes were involved in numerous empires and conflicts throughout history, there was no unified Tartarian civilization or empire as such.
