Khanat de Khiva
The Khanat de Khiva , also called “State of Khwarezm (Khorezm)”, was oldest of the three khanats Uzbek, existing between 1512 - 1920 in the south of the Mer of Aral. Having at the beginning the capital with Ourguentch, following the brutal change of the course of Amou-Daria ( Oxus ) in 1598 which was fatal to him, Khorezm moves its capital with Khiva, small fortress of the time. A few centuries during, Khiva becomes one of the centers of the Islamic world, before becoming the integral part of the Russian Empire in 1873.
