After having founded their empire in the 10th century, they quickly expanded their territory to cover present-day Turkey and most of the Middle East. After a crushing defeat in the Battle of Quatwan in 1141 against the Kara-Khitais who had invaded from the east, the Empire started to desintegrate and gradually more and more territories made themselves independent or were conquered by other invaders. In 1194 another heavy military defeat meant the end of the Seljuk Empire.
After that, individual Seljuks managed to become or remain influential at many courts in their former Empire as advisers, generals or scientists. But mostly they assimilated, merging with the local population and disappearing as a separate people.
