The borders were expanded by subjecting the Qitan, the Kyrgyz and the Onok.

 When the Oguz revolted, the rebellion was suppressed. Kapağan fell into the ambush of the Bayurks as a result of the Chinese provocation and died.  (716) Tahta Kutluk's son, Bilge Kagan, who, together with his brother Kültekin and Vizier Tonyukuk, inflicted a great blow to China and suppressed the uprisings.  After the death of this trio, the state began to weaken.The Basmillar, Karluks, and Uighurs revolted.

 Rulers of Kutluk State

  The founder of the Kutluk State is known as Kutluk Kağan.  With the death of Kutluk Kağan, Kapkan Kağan replaced him.  Kapkan Khan is the second ruler of the Kutluk State.  After Kapkan Khan, he changed many rulers until his collapse:

 Kutluk State Boundaries

  The state of Kutluk expanded its borders since its foundation and reached very wide borders until its collapse.  It spread over a wide geography by taking the Chinese lands under its sovereignty.  It has reached Siberia in the north, Iran and Tibet in the south, and the Caspian Sea in the west.  There are Turkes, Karluks, Ötüken, Çin Türkeli, Manchuria and Mongolia lands within the lands.

  The Fall of Kutluk State

  The state of Kutluk went through very bright periods after the reign of Kutluk Khan and spread to wide geographies.  However, after the death of Bilge Kagan, the state witnessed internal conflicts within itself.  The fact that the state has reached wide borders and the administration is not strong has increased the strength of the internal conflicts.  Some Turkish states started to revolt.  Especially the Uighur, Basmil and Karluk Turks broke up the state by causing riots.
