An Introduction to Mongolia
The Mongols conquered a huge Eurasian empire under Genghis Khan in the 13th century. After his death the empire was divided and then broke apart, the Mongols retiring to their original steppe homelands. Under Chinese rule from the late 17th century, Mongolia won its independence in 1921 with Soviet backing and a Communist regime was installed in 1924. A democratic revolution in early 1990 has led to a multi-party system and a market economy. See full country profile.Latest Research News from Central Asia
