General Oirat raid on Kazakhs — (large campaign on Kazakhs[1]) To eliminate the threat from the Kazakhs, at the end of 1607, the Kalmyks organized a military campaign on the northern borders of the Kazakh Khanate and the state of the Altyn Khan, which likely acted as an ally of the Kazakhs. The campaign had significant scale. "And they, all the Oirat leaders and tribal people, went to fight against the Kazakh Horde, while leaving their wives, children, and all their livestock in their tribes in our lands, ten days' journey from the city of Tara," says one of the Russian archival documents. According to A.I. Isin, this raid occurred at the end of 1607 in November-December and became a general Oirat uprising against the Kazakhs.[2]
