How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Russian Empire, 1783. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
In 1783, violating the 1774 Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca (which had guaranteed non-interference of both Russia and the Ottoman Empire in the affairs of the Crimean Khanate), the Russian Empire annexed the khanate.

49 rulers, 49 with terms dated as terms, covering 1441 – 1783. Median reign 3 years. 10 of 69 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.72, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
