Babur was a descendant of the famed Turkish warrior Timur through his grandfather and his mother descended from Mongolian leader Genghis Khan. Babur’s father was king of Fergana a district of modern Uzbekistan. After his death Babur, though only twelve years of age, succeeded to the throne. In 1487 and in 1511, Babur attacked and gained possession of Samarkand to obtain possession of his ancestral Timurid territories, but defeated by the Uzbeks. Then his attention increasingly turned to India. In 1526 he entered territories of the Delhi Sultanate. When he died in 1530 he had conquered all of India and controlled an empire that extended from India to Turkestan.
