Description
Mohammed Alim Khan, the last Emir of Bukhara, 1911. The Emirate of Bukhara was established in 1785. Mohammed Alim Khan (1880-1944) claimed to be a direct descendant of Ghengis Khan. He ruled Bukhara as an absolute monarch from 1911 until 1920. Internal conflict with reformists and the rise of the Bolsheviks led ultimately to the invasion and capture of the city of Bukhara by the Red Army, bringing an end to his reign and the Manghit dynasty. The Emir fled to Afghanistan where he died in exile in 1944. (Photo by Fine Art Images/Heritage Images/Getty Images)
