Suvas Spirit appeared. As a result of merging between 2 closely akin tribes,Volga Bulgars andSuvars , as well as some other (Esegel ,Barsil ,Biljar ,Mari ,Burtas etc) into one mighty state -Volga Bulgaria .In 1236 AD
Volga Bulgaria was conquered by theTataro-Mongol s. Due to war and 1239-1241 revolutions against Kypchak-tatarsVolga Bulgaria population deeply felt down and main aristokrat and economic classes were killed or dissipated. This war's major massacres had occurred (seeSiege of Bilär ), and later, the raids of the nomads and inner wars within theGolden Horde led to decline of the agriculture and depopulation of the Southern steppes of theVolga Bulgaria . The Bulgars resettled to the north and west of the country, forgot Muslim and finally became paganChuvashes , keeping theBolgar language . Kypchaks and small part of Bulgars formed Muslim state ofVolga Tatars to the south fromChuvashes , adopted language of theKypchaks . Due to war between Tatars and uzbek Tamerlan in 1360-1395 years, central and southern Bulgaria finally became a population dessert. After this war and blood massacres of Tamerlan troops Bulgaria finally became Tatar state. In 1445 theKhanate of Kazan was established byMäxmüd , but the elite had the Hordian roots or was Tatarized and the Muslim Bolgar population, forming the Kazan Tatars, played the main role, whereas the Chuvash people were out of rule. Modern Tatar scholars believe that the statehood of theVolga Bulgaria was restored asKazan khanate , but Chuvash scholars are strongly oppose.After the
fall of Kazan the feudals of Chuvashia, forming a major part of theTaw yağı , controlled their land for some years durning theKazan War .During the Tatar attempt to establish
Idel-Ural State , panuralists planned to incorporate Chuvashia as a part ofIdel-Ural . Those plans weren't realized.Chuvash statehood was renewed on
