The Galdan Boshugtu Khan's expeditions against the Kazakh Khanate of 1681–1684 was a series military conflict, especially expeditionary warfare by the leader of the Dzungar Khanate, Galdan Boshugtu Khan against the Kazakh Khanate, lasting from 1681 to 1684. This was the second part of the century long conflict, Kazakh–Dzungar Wars. Which the series of war spanned from 1635 until the year 1741. Galdan Boshugtu also led campaigns against the Kyrgyz people, Ferghanians later from 1682 up to 1685. He later led a campaign against the Khanate of Bukhara up to 1686.
This led to a further economic growth in the Dzungar Khanate, which allowed for the abundance of grain for the nomadic pastoralist Dzungars. This also led to administrative reforms for the Dzungar Khanate which led to significant change of the nation during Galdan Boshugtu Khan's reign.
The conflict also allowed for the Dzungar recapture of Jetisu as they were lost during a coup led against Galdan's brother, Sengge. Which directly led to Tauke Khan of the Kazakh Khanate to invade the territory with about 80,000 men prior. The Dzungar power in Jetisu was eventually uncontested.
