Quba Khanate
Quba Khanate (Azerbaijani: Quba xanlığı, Persian: قوُبا خانلیغی) was one of the most significant semi-independent khanate that existed from 1726 to 1806, under Iranian suzerainty.[4][5] It was established in 1726 by Huseyn Ali Khan. Khanate's initial capital was Khudat until 1735 when it was changed to the city of Quba. It bordered Caspian sea to the east, Derbent Khanate to the north, Shaki Khanate to the west, and Baku and Shirvan Khanates to the south.[6]

The khanate achieved its greatest prominence under Fatali Khan.
After Fath Ali Khan's death, the Khanate's influence declined. As a result of Mohammad Khan Qajar's conquests and the devastation it had brought, the Alliance of Northern khanates disintegrated. The Khanate was conquered by Russia in 1806, and was fully incorporated into newly created Shamakha Governorate by 1846.[7]
