Summary of Twentieth Century Mongolia
This history of Mongolia in English highlights the role of international politics in the shaping of Mongolia's history, involving Russia/the Soviet Union, China and Japan. It is composed of three parts, each examining crucial periods in the 20th century, concluding with Mongolia's independence from China in 1946. The first section offers a survey of the history of Mongolia up to the 1911 revolution. The second part looks to the political situation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, up to the early socialist period (the early 1920s). The last section draws heavily upon new material, now available since the collapse of the socialist regime in 1990. It offers an understanding of the events of the 1920s and 1930s in Mongolia - a key period in the country's history. During this period the Soviet influence became do,minant, and they faced the most serious threats to their power. This part of the book also examines the destruction of the Buddhist church and nobility by the socialists, concluding with the official recognition of Mongolia's independence by China in 1946.Asia Books
