== Etymology ==
In the Treaty of London (1892), the British and Russians agreed to cease expansion into Central Asia and recognize the newly sovereign state. In the aforementioned Treaty, the state was referred to with the European term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serindia Serindia], which combines the terms ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serica Seres]'' and India.
== History ==
====
The region of what is now Serindia was originally inhabited by Indo-European and nomadic tribes, who dominated the area until the establishment of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectorate_of_the_Western_Regions Chinese protectorate]. Several Iranic, Mongolic, and Turkic kingdoms took root thereafter, often adopting Buddhism. This continued until a century of Tibetan and Chinese control of the region. In the mid-700s, Uyghur and Kirghiz states became dominant for centuries.
Qing control over the region was weakened in the wake of the [[Canton War|Canton War (1850-1858)]]. By 1851, Külüg I began consolidating his power in the Tarim Basin and in the Han-populated Dzungaria north of the Tianshan Mountains. He rebelled against the Qing and established an Uighur Khaganate. ▼
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara-Khanid_Khanate Afrasyabids] became the first Muslim power in Serindia and was shortly followed by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_Empire Mongol empire].

This offer was eventually accepted and resulted in the the [[Treaty of London (1892)]], in which Serindia achieved widespread recognition as a sovereign state.
