The Russo–Kokand War was an 18-year long military conflict fought between the Russian Empire and the Kokand Khanate, ending in a Russian victory. In the following peace treaty, Russia annexed vast territories along the coast of the Aral Sea and along the banks of the Syrdarya River. This war permanently crippled the Kokand Khanate, with it becoming a Russian protectorate.
