The Turko-Mongol Tamerlane beat Toktamish, Khan of the Golden Horde, at the Syr Darya (1389) and Kunduzcha (1391), then attacked his former protégé in the northern Caucausus at the Terek, west of the Caspian. Toktamish suffered a decisive defeat and fled to the Ukraine while Tamerlane sacked his capital at Sarai and placed a puppet ruler over the once mighty Golden Horde.
