I personally believe that Tartaria is just a misspelled Tataria, which means "the land of Tatars", or Mongols.If Tartaria did exist, the most probable scenario seems to me that it was the Russian Slavs who destroyed it in their Eastward expansion/empire building. It's also interesting that the regions of modern day China with the highest levels of authoritarianism and controls, Tibet and Xinjiang, correspond to the regions that used to be part of Tartaria. This makes me more inclined to think what has happened to those regions is part of a cover up.
It is known that Russian tzar Ivan the Terrible commisioned Russian cossacks to conquer Siberia, which was known as Tataria (or Tartaria):
These Cossacks elected Yermak as the leader of their armed forces, and in 1582 Yermak set out with an army of 840 to attack the Khanate of Sibir. On October 26, 1582, Yermak and his soldiers overthrew Kuchum Khan's Tatar empire at Qashliq in a battle that marked the "conquest of Siberia.
There is a painting by Vasiliy Surikov from 1895 that depicts this event. As you see, Tatars (Tartars) are far from advanced civilization, if we can believe this painting. But it is interesting to study it anyway.
