  • The Kök Türk Empires

    Michael R DromppCHAPTER2018

    The people who called themselves Türk (Chinese Tujue 突厥) appear in historical records only a few years before they overthrow their political masters in the middle of the 6th century CE and create a powerful steppe empire that stretched at its height from Manchuria to the Black Sea. These early Türks are sometimes called “Kök” (Old Turkic “Blue,” referring particularly to the color of the sky but also indicating the East) Türks to distinguish them…

  • Imperial State Formation in Inner Asia

    Open AccessMichael R DromppARTICLEActa Orientalia Academiae…2005Cited by: 18References: 5

    One of the most prevalent theories of imperial state formation in Inner Asia argues that steppe empires rose and fell in conjunction with powerful Chinese empires because of important economic and military relationships between the two. The present article examines the application of this theory to the early Turkic states of Inner Asia (6th to 9th centuries) and concludes that this theory is not appropriate for the Turkic cases. The early Turkic …

  • Tang China and the Collapse of the Uighur Empire

    Michael R Drompp, Michael DromppBOOKTang China and the Collapse of…2005Cited by: 26

    The extant writings of the late Tang chief minister Li Deyu form the basis for Michael Drompp’s reconstruction of the Tang dynasty’s response to a threatening event, viz. the collapse of the Uighur steppe empire in 840 C.E., and the subsequent fleeing of large numbers of Uighur refugees to China’s northern frontier. Through a translation of seventy relevant documents the author analyzes the rhetoric of the crisis, as well as its aftermath. The ex…

    Michael R DromppARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1999Cited by: 3

    Many scholars of Inner Asian history have long believed that after the destruction of the Uighur empire in A.D. 840, the victorious Kirghiz followed Inner Asian political tradition and established an empire that included the Mongolian plateau, particularly the Orkhon River valley - the traditional heartland' of many earlier pastoral empires, including that of the defeated Uighurs. These scholars further held that the Kirghiz were expelled from Mo…

    Michael R Drompp, Pan Yihong et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1999

    Son of Heaven and Heavenly Qaghan: Sui-Tang China and its Neighbors by Pan Yihong: The conquest of the last of the Southern Dynasties by Sui in 589 brought to an end the Period of Disunion which had started with the collapse of Han in 220 C.E. The Sui dynasty was short-lived but laid the foundation for the Tang (618-907), an age of outstanding political and cultural achievement to which later generations looked back with nostalgia. The Sui-Tang p…
