Keywords:
Qarakhanids, military system, centralization, cavalry, regional army, military council, defense policy, palace guard.Abstract
This article discusses the fact that the Qarakhanid state (X-XII
centuries) was one of the first Muslim Turkic dynasties in Central Asia, which formed a
centralized system of governance in the political and military spheres, and the
centralization of the military system made it possible to ensure the territorial integrity of
the state, strengthen internal stability, and conduct effective defense against external threats. The structure of the army consisted of permanent cavalry, regional armies, and the
palace guard, which operated under a single command. The center of military command
was located in the khan's palace, and all strategic decisions were made by the supreme
ruler and the military council. The centralization of the Qarakhanid military system
ensured the security of trade routes and created conditions for economic and cultural
development.
