Mongolia

Mongolia appears on the map from 1992 to today. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1992, it covered about 1.56 million km².

One of the realms of Mongolia (Bogd Khanate and Mongolian People's Republic). When the Qing dynasty collapsed in 1911, Mongol princes in Urga declared independence and made the Buddhist leader Jebtsundamba Khutuktu their ruler, the Bogd Khan. Chinese troops reoccupied the country in 1919, but in February 1921 the White Russian warlord Baron Ungern-Sternberg drove them from Urga, and Mongolian revolutionaries led by Damdin Sükhbaatar, aided by the Soviet Red Army, then expelled him and entered Urga in July.
