Tartary once covered a vast realm. There are many kinds of Tartars based on location and ethnicity.
All Tartars are believed to originated from the Turkish tribes and the mixing of many other groups.
--Some of the Tartars types inclued---
Volga Tartars: Turks group of Tartars living in the Volga-Ural region. These are the Tartars that now live in Tartarstan.
Crimean Tartars: Were formed in the 13th - 17th centuries, when Cuman peoples, Greek, Italians and Goths migrated and mixed with native Crimeans.
Siberian Tartars: Oldest of the Tartar groups, preferred to be called Tadar. Taken over by Russia in 1582.
Lipka Tartars: ( Polish-Lithuanian Tartars) Tartars that settled in Lithuania at the beginning of the 14th century AD. Later Muslim Tartars migrated there and mixed.
Andrey Bogolyusky born 1111 AD. Yurii was his father. Became a prince in 1155. In 1162 he tried to combine with Rus' but failed. However in 1169 took Kyiv over.
Kyiv was taken over by the Golden horde in 1241 and combining Tartary.
In 1299 the capital Kyiv was moved northeast to Vladimir.
In 1362 Kyiv became part of Lithuanian Tartars until 1471.
In 1482 Crimean Tartars destroyed Kyiv.
When Rus' began to take over Siberian is when Tartar wars really began. Russia is the cause of the fallen of Tartary.
The Russian conquest of Siberia began in July 1580 when some 540 Cossacks under Yermak Timofeyevich invaded the territory of the Voguls, subjects to Küçüm, the Khan of Siberia. They were accompanied by some Lithuanian and German mercenaries and prisoners of war. Throughout 1581, this force traversed the territory known as Yugra and subdued Vogul and Ostyak towns. At this time, they also captured a tax collector of Küçüm.
Following a series of Tatar raids in retaliation against the Russian advance, Yermak's forces prepared for a campaign to take Qashliq, the Siberian capital. The force embarked in May 1582. After a three-day battle on the banks of the river Irtysh, Yermak was victorious against a combined force of Küçüm Khan and six allied Tatar princes. On 29 June, the Cossack forces were attacked by the Tatars but again repelled them.
Throughout September 1582, the Khan gathered his forces for a defense of Qashliq. A horde of Siberian Tatars, Voguls and Ostyaks massed at Mount Chyuvash to defend against invading Cossacks. On 1 October, a Cossack attempt to storm the Tatar fort at Mount Chyuvash was held off. On 23 October, the Cossacks attempted to storm the Tatar fort at Mount Chyuvash for a fourth time when the Tatars counterattacked. More than a hundred Cossacks were killed, but their gunfire forced a Tatar retreat and allowed the capture of two Tatar cannons. The forces of the Khan retreated, and Yermak entered Qashliq on 26 October.
Kuchum Khan retreated into the steppes and over the next few years regrouped his forces. He suddenly attacked Yermak on 6 August 1584 in the dead of night and defeated most of his army. The details are disputed with Russian sources claiming Yermak was wounded and tried to escape by swimming across the Wagay River which is a tributary of the Irtysh River, but drowned under the weight of his own chainmail. The remains of Yermak's forces under the command of Mescheryak retreated from Qashliq, destroying the city as they left.
In 1586 the Russians returned, and after subduing the Khanty and Mansi people through the use of their artillery they established a fortress at Tyumen close to the ruins of Qashliq. The Tatar tribes that were submissive to Küçüm Khan suffered from several attacks by the Russians between 1584–1595; however, Küçüm Khan would not be caught. Finally, in August 1598 Küçüm Khan was defeated at the Battle of Urmin near the river Ob. In the course of the fight, the Siberian royal family was captured by the Russians. However, Küçüm Khan escaped yet again. The Russians took the family members of Küçüm Khan to Moscow and there they remained as hostages.
The descendants of the khan's family became known as the Princes Sibirsky and the family is known to have survived until at least the late 19th century.
Despite his personal escape, the capture of his family ended the political and military activities of Küçüm Khan and he retreated to the territories of the Nogay Horde in southern Siberia. He had been in contact with the tsar and had requested that a small region on the banks of the Irtysh River would be granted as his dominion. This was rejected by the tsar who proposed to Küçüm Khan that he come to Moscow and "comfort himself" in the service of the tsar. However, the old khan did not want to suffer from such contempt and preferred staying in his own lands to "comforting himself" in Moscow. Küçüm Khan then went to Bokhara and as an old man became blind, dying in exile with distant relatives sometime around 1605.
Mass slaughter claimed to be by Cossacks after its annexation in 1697 AD Killed 140,000 Tartars.
Later 90% of the Kamchadals and half of the Vogules were killed during the 8th and 9th centuries.
Over 12 ethnic groups were wiped out by 1882 AD.
In Kamchatka, the Russians crushed the Itelmens uprisings against their rule in 1706, 1731, and 1741. The first time, the Itelmen were armed with stone weapons and were badly unprepared and equipped but they used gunpowder weapons the second time. The Russians faced tougher resistance when from 1745–1956 they tried to subjugate the gun and bow equipped Koraks until their victory.
The Russian Cossacks also faced fierce resistance and were forced to give up when trying unsuccessfully to wipe out the Chukchi in 1729, 1730, 1741 and 1744–1747.
After the Russian defeat in 1729 at Chukchi hands, the Russian commander Major Pavlutskiy was responsible for the Russian war against the Chukchi and the mass slaughters and enslavement of Chukchi women and children in 1730–1731, but his cruelty only made the Chukchis fight more fiercely.
Cleansing of the Chukchis and Koraks was ordered by Empress Elizabeth in 1742 to totally expel them from their native lands and erase their culture through war. The command was that the natives be "totally extirpated" with Pavlutskiy leading again in this war from 1744–1747 in which he led to the Cossacks "with the help of Almighty God and to the good fortune of Her Imperial Highness", to slaughter the Chukchi men and enslave their women and children as booty. However the Chukchi ended this campaign and forced them to give up by killing Pavlutskiy and decapitating him.
The Russians were also launching wars and slaughters against the Koraks in 1744 and 1753–1754. After the Russians tried to force the natives to convert to Christianity, the different native peoples like the Koraks, Chukchis, Itelmens, and Yukagirs all united to drive the Russians out of their land in the 1740s, culminating in the assault on Nizhnekamchatsk fort in 1746.
Kamchatka today is European in demographics and culture with only 2.5% of it being native, around 10,000 from a previous number of 150,000, due to the mass slaughters by the Cossacks after its annexation in 1697 of the Itelmen and Koryaks throughout the first decades of Russian rule. The killings by the Russian Cossacks devastated the native peoples of Kamchatka.
Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) were a series of major global conflicts pitting the French Empire and its allies, led by Napoleon I, against a fluctuating array of European states formed into various coalitions. It produced a period of French domination over most of continental Europe. The wars stemmed from the unresolved disputes associated with the French Revolution and its resultant conflict. The wars are often categorised into five conflicts, each termed after the coalition that fought Napoleon: the Third Coalition (1805), the Fourth (1806–1807), the Fifth (1809), the Sixth (1813–1814), and the Seventh (1815).
1853 October - 1856 February
The Crimean War was a military conflict fought from October 1853 to February 1856 in which Russia lost to an alliance of France, the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom and Piedmont-Sardinia. The immediate cause of the war involved the rights of Christian minorities in Palestine, which was part of the Ottoman Empire.
The January Uprising was an insurrection principally in Russia's Kingdom of Poland aimed at the restoration of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It began on 22 January 1863 and continued until the last insurgents were captured by the Russian forces in 1864.

The 1800's in the Americas didn't go well for Tartary either.
A great number of conditions have to be explained to understand the level of destruction of the Tartar colonies in the Americas. I will only give a few of the dates to give a brief over view.
1800's Conditions of the Tartary wars in the Americas.
~ great volcanic eruptions ~
1650 BC ~ Santoruni.
79 AD ~ Mount Vesuvius (1).
1600 ~ Huaynaputina.
1631 ~ Vesuvius (2).
1640 ~ Komagatake, Japan.
1783 ~ Laki, Iceland.
1792 ~ Unzen, Japan.
1814 ~ Mayon, Philippines.
1815 ~ Tambora, Indonesia.
1877 ~ Cotopaxi, Ecuador.
1882 ~ Galunggung, Indonesia.
1883 ~ Krakatau, Indonesia.
1902 ~ Mount Pelee, Martinique.
1912 ~ Novarupta.
~ Great fires ~
New York city 1776 AD
Lower Manhattan 1835 AD
Nantucket 1846 AD
Portland 1866 AD
Midwest 1871 AD
Chicago 1871 AD
Michigan 1871 AD
Boston 1872 AD
Peshtigo 1889 AD
Seattle 1889 AD.
During the height of the California Gold Rush, between December 1849 and June 1851, San Francisco endured a sequence of seven bad fires, of which this was the sixth and by far the most damaging. In terms of property value, it did three times as much damage as the next most destructive of the seven fires.
This only goes over a few of the major fires. It would seem that cities burning down was common place throughout the 1800's in the Americas.
~ Great floods ~
1814 ~ large floods in Maine in 1806, and 1811, leading to the larger flood that destroyed mills in Tuner, Maine 1814 and yet another in Maine in 1832.
1844 ~ Great flood of the Mississippi.
The Great Flood of 1844 is the biggest flood ever recorded on the Missouri river and upper Mississippi river in terms of discharge. This flood was particularly devastating since the region had little or no levees at the time. Among the hardest hit were the Wyandot who lost 100 people in the diseases that occurred after the flood.
The flood also is the highest recorded for the Mississippi River at St. Louis. After the flood.
1849 ~ Congres passed the Swamp Act providing land grants to build stronger levees.
1851 ~ After record setting rain fall across the U.S. The midwest plains flooded from May to August. Iowa was hit hard and flooding was all the way down the Mississippi basin.The eastern plains from Nebraska to the Red river basin.
1861- 1862 ~ The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, occurring from December 1861 to January 1862. It was preceded by weeks of continuous rains and snows in the very high elevations that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by a record amount of rain from January 9th–12th, and contributed to a flood that extended including all these states, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Mexico.
Also a great deal of glaciers located between Canada and North America began to melt severely in this time period.
Many would say there was not events in record that would have caused the mud floods. However there is a great deal of evidence to support the mud flood in America for sure.
~ Great earthquakes ~
1811-12 ~ New Madrid, and Missouri.
1812 ~ Caracas, and Venezuela.
1835 ~ Concepcion, Chile.
July 3, 1861
Severe earthquake were felt, followed by two light shocks. It was very severe at Doherty's Ranch in Amador Valley across the Bay. Adobe houses were seriously damaged, and men working in the fields were thrown down.
July 4, 1861
A severe earthquake shock was felt in San Francisco.
1886 ~ Charleston, South Carolina.
There were many earthquakes throughout each year during the 1800's into the 1900's.
With all the earthquakes, floods, fires, wars, I don't believe it was humanly possible to build advanced architecture in that time period realistically. It is more likely that architecture left over from the 1400's to the 1600's was renovated and then repurposed.
This does not include all the flood, earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions that happened on the 19th century just a sampling.
In conclusion, the architecture of the 19th century probably isn't the work of the Tartars. Tartars were a real terminology used for all types of people in many eastern lands. However there is little to no evidence proving or disproving the connect in the Americas. And if for some reason it was true, they would have been there in the 1400's through the 1600's.
