Three major population centers of the khanates—Tashkent, Bukhoro, and Samakand—are captured in 1865, 1867, and 1868, respectively.

In 1868 the Khanate of Bukhara signs a treaty with Russia making Bukhara a Russian protectorate.

Khiva becomes a Russian protectorate in 1873, and the Quqon Khanate finally will be incorporated into the Russian Empire, also as a protectorate, in 1876.
