Description

Twentieth Century Mongolia is the previously unwritten history of Mongolia. After 1911, many historical archives in chives in Mongolia were destroyed; those that survived were locked up by the Soviet-controlled Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. In March 1990, when the democracy movement brought about a change in government, these secret documents were revealed, many historic witnesses opened their mouths, and Mongolia's real history became front-page news in all the newspapers in the country. 

This work will have two volumes and five books; the first volume has three books. The first book, The Steppe Warriors, describes Mongolian history from ancient times to the beginning of the twentieth century. I tried to show this history very briefly because Mongolian ancient history, especially the history of the Middle Ages, has been well-researched by Western and Eastern historians and I didn't want to "reinvent the wheel." But the history of any nation is a continual process and must be considered in context, so Book One provides a general background about Mongolian history. 

Book Two, Incarnations and Revolutionaries, describes Mongolia's history from 1911 to 1924; the twentieth century began for Mongolia on December 29, 1911, the day the Halh nobles first declared independence. This section of history is considered in the context of Mongolia's large and strong neighbors, particularly China, Russia, and Japan. Some say 1921, the year the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party declared their government, was the beginning of new things, but I think that 1921 was only the continuation of the process begun in 1911.

Book Three, The Puppet Republic, relates Mongolia's transition to Soviet communism and the continued struggle for sovereignty which was not acknowledged by any country until 1946. During this period, from 1924-1946, Mongolia was still not recognized as a nation-state.
