@qw.edit2: Kazakhstan has never been surrounded by six countries and defeated all of them at the same time. However, in its history, the Kazakh people fought many wars against different enemies. The Kazakh Khanate successfully defended its lands against powerful neighboring states, including the Dzungar Khanate. One of the most important periods was the Kazakh–Dzungar wars, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Kazakhs fought bravely to protect their land and eventually regained many territories.
