No it does not, during the height of the united Mongol Empire the Golden horde was just an administrative division, controlled by the jochid family line. When Chinggis Khan started conquering the empire, in traditional mongol custom the empire was divided into sections for each of his sons. The Golden Horde, the Chagadai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and later the Yuan dynasty. These khanates were not independent, they were just the portions of the vast Empire controlled by each royal family. When the Empire broke up it followed these prior divisions splintering into those 4 khanates but before that they were just the first administrative division of control of the Mongol Empire controlled by their respective family lines. opposed to
