Bogd Khanate of Mongolia

Mongolia, 1911–1924. Draft, not yet reviewed

During the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongol princes and lamas in Khüree formed a provisional government and moved toward independence. Under the Kyakhta Agreement of 1915, Mongolia accepted autonomous status under Chinese suzerainty while retaining its own government. Mongolian autonomy was abolished by Chinese authorities in 1919. In 1921, Bogd Khaan's monarchy was restored during the Mongolian Revolution of 1921, and it continued alongside the new revolutionary government until his death in 1924.
