The Later Tang, 923 to 936, was the first of the dynasties formed by the Shatuo Turks. Before that, the Shatuo had replaced the Uyghurs as the military prop of the Tang.[1] The Later Tang arose in the age of the Five Dynasties. By then the Tang had collapsed and China had split.[1] The Later Jin followed it.[1]
